I loved watching Shields & Yarnell! They were funny, but I guess I also liked watching them because they had a tendency to dump food & drink on themselves and each other!
Lorene Yarnell was cute and had an awesome body! When she would do a face plant in a bowl of cereal, or get something messy dumped on her, I went crazy! Btw, if you're not aware of it, Lorene died in 2010.
They made mime and slapstick comedy look effortless. The way Bob Shields would hold Lorene up or carry her around, you'd think she weighed nothing. And the way they could hold so still that they looked like statues, even while getting thrown around or knocked over was really something. I laughed out loud at the supermarket scene when Lorene fell into the deep freezer!
Btw, Bob Shields studied with the great mime Marcel Marceau.
Thanks so much for finding and posting these clips, Midwestgunge!
Love you, too
