Earning another stripe: Mr. Peppermint gets to be 80
01/31/07 06:58 PM
Jerry Haynes, best known in these
parts as candy-striped Mr. Peppermint, hit 80 years
of age Wednesday (Jan. 31). For a cool interview with
him by Unfair Park's Robert Wilonsky, go here.
My own memories of Jerry are colored by his numerous roles in made-for-TV movies, including stellar work as no good "Uncle Jimmy" in 1986's Houston: The Legend of Texas. Take a look at his voluminous list of credits!
So a belated happy birthday, Jerry. Here's to ya and long live Mr. Peppermint in this vintage clip:
