Hans Conried was once described by the well-known Hollywood gossip columnist Hedda Hopper as “a high-strung, droll fellow, plagued by a multitude of talents.” Conried was indeed a talented and versatile actor, but his versatility often worked against him. A complex individual who yearned to perform Shakespeare on the stage, he achieved success playing low comedy in films and on television.

Conried performed in nearly 10,000 radio shows and hundreds of television programs and stage plays, as well as more than 80 films. Over the years, Conried also lent his distinctive voice to numerous animated shorts, phonograph records, commercials, and other projects. Some of his most memorable roles are Dr. Terwilliker in The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T; the voice of Captain Hook from Disney’s Peter Pan; eccentric Uncle Tonoose on The Danny Thomas Show; the fussy elocutionist Percy Livermore on I Love Lucy; and the voice of comical villain Snidely Whiplash from Jay Ward’s Dudley Do-Right series.

This book chronicles Conried’s life and career from his birth in 1917 through his death in 1982. Enlivened by many photographs as well as personal reminiscences from family, friends, and colleagues, the book also contains comprehensive information on Conried’s radio, television, film, stage and voice work.

Writer and researcher Suzanne Gargiulo lives in Quincy, Massachusetts.


Description of Beanie sold on eBay

Vintage The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T HAT
  
This beanie hat is made of 100% wool with a rubber hand atop. The front of the hat says: The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T. Pat. Pend.
The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T was a movie put out in 1953 starring Peter Lind Mary and Mary Healy. A beanie hat with a hand with the fingers pointing upwards was worn by the character Bart. Theodore Geisel ( Dr. Suess ) is responsible for this fantasy. I believe this item to be unique and hard to find.
The condition is excellent. The wool is all good with no moth damage; no other damage any. The rubber hand is in excellent condition; previous owner has numbered the fingers 1 2 3 4 5. I have not tried to remove this and will leave that up to the new owner.
This is a cool still of Tommy getting makeup, but check out the kid above him! What's he got, the mumps?
Hey, how did my son get into the movie? The things you can do with Photoshop!
This still is from the 1958 re-release called "Crazy Music." Get it, Crazy Music,
Beatniks, crazy man? Guess you had to be there. This always struck me as the kids worshiping Dr. T!
Cover of the unofficial LP soundtrack for the film
These are just great portraits of Tommy Rettig taken on the set.
Hans Conried, just another great portrait.
Fun with fingers, or give Dr. T a big hand.
Don't know what to say about this picture. I can't even tell who is getting the finger!
