She’s righteous, brighteous and WAY outta-sighteous! From The Electric Company’s pop/rock group, The Short Circus, June Angela is here! June drops by as I close out my series of in-depth interviews looking back at the electrifying and entertaining 1970s educational series. PLUS – we’ll talk about her time on Broadway starring opposite Yul Brynner in The King and I, meeting up with TV icons the Sweathogs, and how she’s still educating kids with her work in voiceovers.
