A Queens' queen that ended up playing Queens' king....

Carroll O'Connor

An Elmhurst Queen -

That most of us...

just call - "Archie".

&

Lest we forget the lovely Beverly La Salle....

the funniest part is in the first four minutes

a couple of things worth pointing out...

Carroll was born into a liberal family & was a liberal his whole life.

Norman Lear set the show in Queens after hearing Carroll's accent.

The film used in the closing credits is not of NYC, but of Buffalo, New York, (as we recollect).
