Billie Hayes, whose portrayal of the flamboyantly and comically wicked witch Witchiepoo on the 1969-70 Saturday morning live-action children’s classic H.R. Pufnstuf, died of natural causes Thursday April 29 at Cedar’s Hospital in Los Angeles. She was 96.
Her death was announced by her family.

Billie Hayes.
Yeah. Les McKeown died two weeks ago.
No way! I thought Witchie Poo might have been a dude. Any idea what year that photo was?
Reminds me a little bit of Barbara Anderson of Ironside.
Sid and Marty had the best dope
didn’t that come on after lidsville?
“PufNStuf and the related Lidsville were among my favorite TV shows when I was 4 or 5.”
Don’t forget Sigmund & the Sea Monsters. Sid & Marty Kroft put out some fun shows for kids during that era.
Interesting trivia is that little Jimmy (Jack Wild) from PufnStuf already had an Oscar nomination prior to doing that show from the musical Oliver!(1968)
I was a Jonny Quest and Speed Racer fan.
No way that could be Billie Hayes. She was born 1925 and I don’t think they photographed like that in the 50’s.
Maybe it isn’t her.

You can NOT convince me that the Krofft Brothers weren’t doing some seriously hard drugs when they were making those shows.
Wilhelmina W. Witchiepoo - I did not know the full name. Kinda like Willy Gilligan.
