Mrs. B. Dead
Or
Lost our Luster
Betty L. Prentis, mouthpiece for the C.G. Conn Brass Company in the most unintentionally demented promotional video ever, has died at the age of 89. Viewers of Mr. B. Natural were asked to accept the leggy Prentis, a former dancer, as the omniscient, omnipresent embodiment of the spirit of music. Kind of like Mary Martin as Peter Pan mixed with a bad LSD trip. At the time, her career had taken her to the London stage, Broadway and television, while the saga of Mr. B Natural regaling impressionable teen Buzz with tales of the magic of music, and even its impact on Buzz’s own family (You leave my father out of this!) languished in obscurity until stumbled upon by the geniuses at Best Brains, who turned it into one of the most popular shorts to get new life with Mystery Science Theater 3000.
