Farewell, Jim Millaway!

I was saddened to read this story in the December 24, 2023 Tulsa World.  Why?  Surely you jest.

Because Millaway was an indispensable part of Dr Mazeppa Pompazoidi's Uncanny Film Festival and Camp Meeting!  (The above obit is from the December 27, 2023 World.)

From 1971 to 1973, Jim Millaway played good-natured, sometimes straight man Sherman Oaks.

He was often the foil for such mutts as Benny the Crusher (above)

or Teddy Jack Eddy (Gary Busey) and Little Darlin' (Janie Jackson).

His parody of local interview shows was called "Tulsa Teen Town Topics."  You can certainly sense Millaway rolling his eyes at Benny the Crusher's muscles, above.

The above article is from the October 10, 1982 Tulsa World.

And this one is from the December 20, 2009 World.

I never met the guy, but I saw him once in passing, at a SoonerCon in the early 1990s, at OKC's Central Plaza Hotel.  I recognized him without the half mask, too!

SAH-LOOT, Jim Millaway!  Thanks for your easygoing character, sense of humor, and improvisational skills!
