In Memory of Cleveland Romper Room's Miss Barbara

From 1958 to 1971, Miss Barbara played a special part in the daily routine of Cleveland's young children. This interview, produced by Impact Communications several years ago, features Barbara Plummer as she relives a few of her most memorable experiences as host of the popular childrens show, Romper Room.
Barbara Plummer passed away at the age of 80 following a long illness.

Barbara Plummer will always be the lovely face and voice of Romper Room. She lit up my family's TV screen when she appeared on WEWS-TV. It was pure joy on weekday mornings. R.I.P., Miss Barbara. Please know how much you're loved and appreciated. Thank you for making my childhood worthwhile.

I am one of the lucky children to be used on the show! I remember the “ Magic Mirror” Rhyme and can still repeat it . I am now 70 years old. This was a wonderful walk down memory lane! Thank you

When i was 5 or 6 years old living in Cleveland in the early 60's, i was with my mother in Krogers/IGA check out line when i looked up Miss Barbara was in front of us paying for her groceries. I said look mommy it's Miss Barbara can we ask her to say my name in the magic mirror on tv. My mother told her my name Richard and she smiled and obliged and i was very excited to watch the show the next day. At the end of the show the next day i didnt hear my name and was disappointed. My mother told me that there were many children that also wanted to hear their name on tv and she simply couldn't say everybody's name.

She didn’t say mine either and I always gave her a hard time about it. She was a lovely lady and I have wonderful memories of her. And a piece of art she made for my mother.
