Norris, Fran, 1911-1988
Fran Norris (1911-1988) (maiden name Wilking) ws an American children's television star, producer and pioneer. She was born in Zanesville, OH and graduated from Ohio-Wesleyan University in 1933 with a degree in education.
It was in 1949, after marriage (to M. DeWitt Norris), settling in Plain City, Ohio, and motherhood (son George followed by daughter Marilyn), that one day Norris noticed her 4 year-old daughter singing along to songs she heard on television. With that as her inspiration, Mrs. Norris began to wonder if children could learn other things via TV besides just jingles and the song hits of the day.
