Conny Ray

As a testimony of the long term faithful service of Len Insull figures, Conny Ray (Sweden) sent me the photo above. The head of the figure on the left (above), "Agaton", was purchased in 1960. Conny made the body himself following Paul Winchell's directions in the book Ventriloquism For Fun and Profit. In 1963 he purchased the head for "Jonatan" (above right). Conny tells me the heads are still in good condition after these many years of performance.

During the 1970s, Conny began to add puppet characters to his act as well.
