Edgar Bergan's famous dummy Charlie McCarthy had his own bedroom, boyishly decorated, with toys, books, college pennants on the walls, plus autographed photographs from famous celebrities and politicians. Whenever Charlie wasn't in active use on radio, television, the movies or in nightclubs he lay motionless on the bed, head resting against the pillow.
When Bergan's very young daughter Candace discovered this room she wondered what had so entirely paralyzed Charlie. Or was he just plain dead? What had he done? If she accidentally made his mistake, would the same thing happen to her?
