Carousel of Progress Mystery Girl

[monorail_driver]

In the first scene of the COP, Sarah (the mother) is ironing and on the her right (audience's left) is a little girl washing clothes, sitting down. Who is this, as I don't see her in any of the other scenes?! I know it isn't the daughter, as she appears in the same scene going out for Valentine's. Hopefully someone will know .... as this is a puzzling one for me.

I always took it to be the daughter (they could have more than one)

 

[joel_maxwell]

maybe it was the little sister that they couldnt afford to pay her a speaking role so they just had her as a stand in..........

 

[monorail_driver]

Well, she doesn't appear in any of the other scenes... Does it mention her in any of the written scripts for this attraction?

She succumbed to the whooping cough in 1904, I'm afraid. She caught it after sharing a sarsaparilla.

They buried her under the cistern.

I wonder if it's some girl next door helping Mother out. This girl has been around since the 1964 version and as far as I know has nevr been sourced or explained as she has never had a speaking roll.

Actually their son James/Jimmy didn't even have a name or a speaking roll..well he got a speaking roll finally in the 1975 version, but I don't think he had a name until the 1994 version. :hammer:

Originally in Act I for both the 1964 and 1967 version James was not talking, but using an air suction vaccum as Father was describing it to the audience.

She was like the youngest daughter on "Family Matters." She suddenly disappears, and as an audience member, we're just supposed to accept it and not question it.

I wonder if the animatronic also ended up in the adult film industry...

oh, so it is like on Soap Operas, when a 3 year old on friday turns into a 15year on that following monday for storyline purposes......... but you know, i mean, errr, i dont watch soap operas or anything.

I love Family Matters!

Personally, I always assumed this little girl in the CoP was a neighbor who was there to help with the often laborious work of those times.

 

[Ziggie]

Great thread!

I've always believed her to be a younger daughter. But I've always wondered why she never appears in the final scene? (does she?)

The answer to her disappearance is quite simple. The mother speaks about how this "modern washday marvel" has reduced the washing to only 5 hours. :animwink:

As it turns out she was speaking of the girl and not the "washing machine".

In the next scene they have an electric washer. Therefore "the modern washday marvel" is no longer needed. :lookaroun

 

[Fantasmic!329]

Anyone have a pic.? Truthfully, I never noticed her. :lol:

 

[Becky]

Now that I have solved the CoP Mystery Girl question I need help on one of my own

In the refurbished Small World can someone tell me
¿ Dónde está Don Quixote? :veryconfu

 

[tecowdw]

Probably put up for adoption or locked in the attic - every family has a member they just doesn't discuss.

 

[kiawahman]

she's a laundry gimp

Like many child actors of the 70's :lookaroun
