Percy Helton (January 31, 1894 – September 11, 1971) was an American film and television character actor.
Percy Helton began acting as a young child at the age of two, appearing in his father's vaudeville act. He appeared in many Broadway plays as a child actor before joining the United States Army to serve in World War I with the American Expeditionary Forces. The short actor with a hoarse, raspy voice and breathy delivery was a fixture in a wide range of films and TV programs in the 1950s and 1960s. Among them were three guest appearances on Perry Mason, including the role of Asa Cooperman in the 1961 episode, "The Case of the Pathetic Patient". Helton appeared as the drunken Santa Claus in Miracle on 34th Street. He also appeared in Criss Cross (1949), The Set-Up (1949), Kiss Me Deadly (1955) and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969). He died at age 77 two years after his final film appearance and was entombed at Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery in Los Angeles.
57 feet tall "Glamazon" Bev arrives with suitcase and "record-player" to a strange town in California*, looking for lodging. Settling in with her Vodka, cigarette, and astrology magazine, she meets her "reptilian" neighbor! Great fun; not quite "film noir," more like "film gris!" Funny and preposterous, deliciously tawdry and '50s!!!

1.12 [--] Honey West: A MILLION BUCKS IN ANYBODY'S LANGUAGE 03-Dec-1965 Written by Tony Barrett Directed by John Florea Director of Photography: Keith Smith Anne Francis (as Honey West); John Ericson (as Sam Bolt) With: Irene Hervey (as Aunt Meg) Steve Ihnat, Harry Bellaver, Charlie Neely, Ken Lynch, Lieutenant Keller, Sarah Selby, Dora Neeley, Frank Scannell, Driver, Percy Helton, Wiley, Judy Kane, Dottie, Synopsis: Honey investigates the death of a P.I. whose car exploded shortly after he called Honey for help, and she uncovers a plan to print fake British pounds.
The memories of movie fans are papered with the work of the remarkably prolific producer Edward Small, ranging from such sophisticated fare as Witness for the Prosecution to boomer favorites like Jack The Giant Killer and It, The Terror From Beyond Space. In 1953 Small produced Wicked Woman, a memorably sleazy but amusingly self-aware noir out of the Jim Thompson playbook. Directed by Russell Rouse (The Oscar), the film stars Richard Egan as a small-town barkeep and perennial femme fatale Beverly Michaels as the sexy drifter who has his number. Co-starring Percy Helton, the high-pitched gnome from so many other essential noirs including Kiss Med Deadly and Criss Cross. http://www.trailersfromhell.com

Beverly Michaels stars in this film! This movie was made in 1956. She is my favorite actress. This movie is VERY rare. Most of the movies Beverly was in were never released on home video. They only exist on old tv recordings from years ago. TV stations no longer play the movies she was in. The only 2 Beverly movies that were released on home video she played small parts in: Crashout and East Side, West Side. I recommend watching Beverly in: Pickup which you can buy from a seller called Bonanza online. I also recommend watching a movie she's in called Girl On the Bridge at Amazon.com- you can rent it and watch it online. I also recommend watching Wicked Woman, which you can view on someone else's Youtube page. Do NOT buy movies from Scooter Movies Shop. He doesn't send the merchandise you ...
Air date: January 19, 1957 Percy Helton, Lisa Gaye, Walter Kingsford A university professor nullifies gravity with a magnetic field. ---------------------------- Blending the discoveries of factual science with the limitless frontiers of fantasy, Science Fiction Theatre offered Atomic Age television viewers an intriguing look at the possibilities science could provide us in the near future as well as the immediate present.

Red, Hot and Blue (1949) HD. Taken (as far as possible) from the Cole Porter musical comedy of the same name, Red, Hot and Blue stars Betty Hutton as an ambitious chorus girl. Hutton gets a job with a musical comedy bankrolled by gangsters, and is the wrong girl at the wrong place when one of the show's backers (William Talman) is bumped off. She is arrested for suspicion of murder, then is kidnapped by the villains to keep her from spilling the beans. The plot requires that she be rescued by hero Victor Mature, though many disgruntled audience members may have been rooting for the boisterous Hutton to be dumped in the East River. The stage version of Red Hot and Blue starred Ethel Merman, Jimmy Durante, and Bob Hope. Hutton is no Merman, but she gives her all to the brassy production numb...

[Verse 1]
I wouldn't want to be anybody else
( Hey! )
You made me insecure
Told me I wasn't good enough
But who are you to judge
When you're a diamond in the rough
I'm sure you got some things
You'd like to change about yourself
But when it comes to me
I wouldn't want to be anybody else
Na na na na na
Na na na na na na
I'm no beauty queen
I'm just beautiful me
La na na na na na na na na!
La na na na na na na na na!
You've got every right
To a beautiful life
( C'mon! )
Who says
Who says you're not perfect
Who says you're not worth it
Who says you're the only one that's hurting
Trust me
That's the price of beauty
Who says you're not pretty
Who says you're not beautiful
Who says
[Selena Gomez - Verse 2]
It's such a funny thing
How nothing's funny when it's you
You tell 'em what you mean
But they keep whiting out the truth
It's like a work of art
That never gets to see the light
Keep you beneath the stars
Won't let you touch the sky
La na na na na na na na na!
La na na na na na na na na!
I'm no beauty queen
I'm just beautiful me
La na na na na na na na na!
La na na na na na na na na!
You've got every right
To a beautiful life
C'mon
[Chorus]
Who says
Who says you're not perfect
Who says you're not worth it
Who says you're the only one that's hurting
Trust me
That's the price of beauty
Who says you're not pretty
Who says you're not beautiful
Who says
Who says you're not star potential
Who says you're not presidential
Who says you can't be in movies
Listen to me, listen to me
Who says you don't pass the test
Who says you can't be the best
Who said, who said
Won't you tell me who said that
( Yeah, WHO SAID!? )
Who says
Who says you're not perfect
Who says you're not worth it
Who says you're the only one that's hurting
Trust me
That's the price of beauty
Who says you're not pretty
Who says you're not beautiful
