Some familiar faces in the photo above are Maggie Smith & Billie
Hayes. Ok, so
maybe Ms. Hayes' face is not terribly familiar, since she's well known
as Witchiepoo, so she's in the third row from the top, first one on
the left. According to the playbill, Ms. Hayes "Met Paul
Lynde, sketch director, while touring the elite boites with a tab revue,
"What's New." He recommended her to Mr. Sillman for
"New Faces of '56." Here's
a clip of Ms. Hayes with Paul in his Halloween special.
