Edd Byrnes was born in 1933.
He was best known for playing the character "Kookie" on the TV show "77 Sunset Strip".
He also appeared in several movies, but including the movie "Grease".
Below is a video of him with Connie Stevens (his co-star on "77 Sunset Strip").
Connie Stevens appeared as a guest star at least once on "77", but was actually a regular on the "Hawaiian Eye" tv series, which was also made by Warner brothers.
Remember "Kookie" is the only time I remembered Edd Byrnes I think... I did watch "77 Sunset Strip"---so I enjoyed him on that show.

ReplyDeleteI was a little kid at the time, but that was my favorite show. My sister had a crush on Kooky and used to try and comb my hair like his.
