The Real Fannie

[DonKelley@aol.com]

Okay, here's the real deal:  Grace Black, who played "Harriet The Talking Chair" for Puritan Furniture, was indeed the original voice of Frugal Fannie. 

Grace became ill and a second woman's voice was added, as Joe Pappalardo correctly pointed out.  This woman was never presented as Fannie, just a second voice on some of the spots.  Later she did a few of them solo.  She was not Mrs. B. 

The present Fannie is the real one.  She's Kathleen Doxer, wife of Frugal Fannie's owner Orrin Doxer.  That's her on TV as well.
