Today (16th November) is the birthdate for Burgess Meredith who of course played as the ‘waddling bird of foul play’ aka the Penguin on Batman. If still alive Burgess would have been 102 today. Born in Cleveland Ohio in 1907 he was the most prominant villain in the Batman series appearing in 20 episodes plus the 1966 Batman Movie.

Other than Batman, Burgess is best known for playing Mickey Goldmill who was Rocky’s trainer during the Rocky film series. Burgess won an Emmy Award as Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy or Drama Special for the 1977 television film “Tail Gunner Joe”. His last appearance was narrating the video game “Ripper”.

Meredith sadly passed away on September 9th 1997 due to Alzheimer’s disease. Burgess has a star on the walk of fame at Hollywood Boulevard.

Sorry I have not posted for a while. It has been difficult for me to carry out updates as I am currently revising/sitting my A-Level exams. I am desperate to do many updates but can not until they are over, hopefully next week I will be able to crack 0n with my website.

However, I have managed to do two updates, one is updating the bottom of the “history” webpage by adding information about American television in 1966, schedules, ratings etc.. so check it out.

Also, I have added a webpage for Lola Lasagne who of course was the Penguin’s accomplice for a two-parter in the third season.

Again, thanks for visiting!

I have just updated King Tut’s and Egghead’s webpages, also added a new picture to Marsha’s. That’s it for now, but I am planning to do more updates to villain’s webpages, hopefully I will be able to do the Mr. Freeze’s in the next few days.

Again, thanks for visiting, and I hope everyone is having a great bank holiday Monday! =D
