A gentleman by the name of Ewing Miles "Lucky" Brown claimed to have been "Stinky" in Our Gang. I'm sure we all know the drill by now. Brown either appeared in a series similar to Our Gang, and simply thought it was Our Gang years later, or is another imposter. The former is more than likely the candidate. Here's an interview that he did once. Our Gang is only mentioned briefly. www.alandoshna.com/lucky.htmlAny thoughts?

Don't you remember Stinky in the one with the pie-eating contest?

Don't you remember Stinky in the one with the pie-eating contest? Was that the episode where Stinky, Freckles, and Fatty somehow bested the adults? I love that episode!

I got this for a reply this morning.
Thanks for your interest. Let me get the details over the holidays. Ewing is out of country and I want to make sure we have the correct details for your database. Have a great Christmas.

I wonder if we can get Ewing Brown and Ernie Weckbaugh in the same room together so they can discuss their days as both playing "Stinky"

As it turns out, Weckbaugh died a couple of months ago (just found out today). Of course, if only one of them was "Stinky," then we'd only be able to tell which one if they were in separate rooms.

Weckbaugh was one of those who was in a handful of similar Our Gang shorts and thought they actually were Our Gang shorts. I found another curiosity, this unusual interview with a 91 year old Buckwheat/Stymie imposter. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tozZMOzsaBM

I still have not received a reply as to which episodes "Stinky" was in, but I found this picture his lists on his site as his Little Rascals "Stinky" photo. Do ya recognize him yet

Kinda hard to tell with the photo being so small. Considering the pose, he looks like he could have been in show-biz, but I don't recognize him.

This is supposed to be Weckbaugh as stinky. This photo was used in the article last year when he was inducted to the blood donors hall of fame. www.foundersdistrict.org/b/2010/01/17/stinky-gives-the-gift-that-helps-save-lives/

Check out the speech, yet another "Stinky" roundtownwithron.com/BBPersonalities-59.html This guy goes on in great detail. According to his time frame accounts, he would be the one in the picture above... Laura June, if you read this post can you shed some light on who was the real Stinky?

I quit, I found another fellow who was a famous child actor in the OUR GANG series named Stinky. It is just a short blurb in this article. www.insidesocal.com/history/2009/08/snipped from the article: Though business was brisk, it was not enough to keep the restaurant afloat, and its owners filed for bankruptcy in 1975. Into the breach stepped former "Our Gang" comedies star Chuck Johnston, pictured at left in the 1980s. (He played the character of "Stinky Davis.") In addition to being the master lessee of the Redondo Beach Marina, he owned a variety of businesses in King Harbor, including the Blue Moon Saloon. I am beginning to wonder if that was a stock name they gave all the no line extras who maybe had the camera pass over once in an episode just so they could feel important.

In the Mickey McGuire films, I know that I've also seen a character named Stinky who was played at different times by at least Douglas Scott and Kendall McComas.

Ralph Hodges was very specific about the era, and Alfalfa in his speech.
