We are honored to feature treasures from the estate of the late, great showman, Don Potter. Don started in Vaudeville at a very young age inspired by men such as Lew Fields, Laurel & Hardy, and Al Jolson. He went on to be drafted into the Army, serving as a showman in uniform during the Korean War (military memorabilia available). After his honorable discharge he built a career on and off Broadway, doing national touring shows with greats such as Dame Angela Lansbury (Gypsy) and Cathy Rigby (Peter Pan), and the crown jewel of his live theatre work was playing the lovable Peanuts dog, "Snoopy". Don played Snoopy in so many shows and over many years that he developed a close friendship with the man he called "Sparky", known more commonly to his fans as Charles Schulz, the creative giant behind Peanuts. Due to Don's illustrious career, sparkling personality and diversity of interests, there is guaranteed to be something for everyone here even if you're not an entertainment industry fan. For example, we have two extremely hard to find tickets plus the parking pass and list of players for the 1st Annual Celebrity vs. All Stars Baseball Game played at Dodger Stadium.
