So, I was having a discussion at work about Mr. McFeely from Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood and I wondered if Mr. and Mrs. McFeely were the same person. I went to check this out on youtube with no avail…. I know I’m crazy but humor me.
I did find out that there is a movie out called Speedy Delivery (2008 release date) – it’s a documentary about Mr. Rogers et al. I also found out that David Newell (aka Mr. McFeely) goes places and talks about Mr. Rogers, the show and continues to carry on Rogers’ legacy (Wear a Sweater Day on March 20th, etc.)
I think that’s kind of cool – hope you do too!
** And seriously – try to find ANY information on Mrs. McFeely – if you can, please let me know who played her on the show – - it’ll make me stop thinking about Mr. McFeely in drag…!! (Side note… Mr. Roger’s birth name was: Fred McFeely Rogers)
Thanks!
I don’t think we ever even *saw* Mrs. McFeely, so I have no doubt there is no information about her.
I remember her, but she visited Mr Rogers without husband methinks….
This is a quandary….
Kyllie West just forwarded me more info on the Mister Rogers cast:

There WAS a Mrs. McFeely, there really was!
According to Internet Movie Database Mrs. Betsy McFeely was played by Betty Seamans.
