Best Answer

The name you states sound like a parody on Hedda Hopper who was a famous movie Gossip columnist in syndicated newspaper columns. She died in either l965 or l966 so was very much alive when Howdy Doody was current. (Howdy went out of circulation circa l96l-62)/ Maybe you are thinking of a more educational type of show such as the Mickey Mouse club which sometimes went into historical angles... and well they should have... with the big Disney Studio behind them.

Yes, on the old Howdy Doody show, one of the old silent film divas was always identified as Hilda Hanewinkle (I am not entirely sure on the spelling).. which was most definitely a 'made up' name! There was no connection with Hedda Hopper - I don't know where that came from.
