Torchy's guest this week is Paul Petersen, who played Jeff Stone on the big hit TV series, The Donna Reed Show. For some of you nostalgia experts you will remember that Paul was also a Mouseketeer for about 6 minutes.

But that did not stop him as Paul became a real professional by all standards of the entertainment industry. Even today he heads up an advocacy group called A MINOR CONSIDERATION that helps former child actors.
 

Mouseketeer Cubby O'Brien
On this episode, TORCHY SMITH is interviewing Mouseketeer Carl O"Brien. Of course most of you will remember him with just his stage name CUBBY. Sort of like Fabian or Ringo. Who needs a second name when you are a famous icon?

Cubby always seemed to be paired up with Karen... who was his size. If you watched the show frequently after school you will remember that Cubby was a drummer. After the mice split up Cubby continued to play the drums as his show business career matured.
