Subject: RE: Review: Jimmy Scribner - who is he?
I am Jimmy Scribner's daughter. Jimmy Scribner not only did the Uncle Remus stories he also did a radio show called The Johnson family in the 1930s, he did all the voices, (he had 27 different natural voice) and wrote all the scripts. We came to California because he was going to play Uncle Remus in "The Song of the South". Disney getting pressure the NAACP decided to use a black actor. They brought a black actor from England and my dad was dialog coach on the movie. After that we did The Sleepy Joe show. He also did Uncle Remus records (not the Disney version). He was a wonderful father and a very nice man.
