Weatherwax’s aunt was actress and dancer Ruby Keeler. His brother Joey Viera is an actor who, as Donald Keeler, played Porky on the first three seasons of Lassie with the late Tommy Rettig.
Now THAT is cool info.
I once saw Ruby Keeler dance and sing in “No, No, Nanette”. 1972 in Atlanta.
It had Don Ameche(sp), Bobby Van, and Busby Berkeley as the choreographer.
I was WAY too stupid back then to understand just who I was seeing.
Goodbye Pugsley. You’ll be missed!
