A promotional ad for "Skipper" starring Ward Craven which aired on NBC for three seasons (1961-1963). Craven went on to portray a variety of minor characters in the movies and television, but would always be remembered for his role as Skipper. With the success of re-runs, and the popularity of his California Indian wife Ksen, also his co-star from an episode, Craven and his wife went on to rack up a series of celebrity appearances at a variety of fundraisers and county fairs
well up into the 1980s.
