Tinkerbell was behind bars?!

The MeTV article shows that Elinor Donahue is not in the closing credits; however, she is credited in at least some of the episodes, in the opening credits. If it's not in the syndicated episode, you never know what was in the original episode.

In her Television Academy extensive interview, she mentions she was extremely nervous about performing Away In A Manger. Finally the director just had her sing it, allegedly with the film camera not rolling. But a camera was rolling and that was the take that was used.

She did a great job, I always wished Ellie Walker could have stayed a while longer.
