     Mrs. Dubcek (Elmarie Wendell), the landlord to the Solomon family [a bunch of aliens hiding out on planet Earth]. Mrs. Dubcek revealed her ethnic background while talking to the Solomons. She pointed out their last name was obviously Jewish. Harry Solomon then asked her own ethnic origins and she told him she was part Czechoslovakian and part Rumanian...sort of a "slavic mutt."

SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE/NBC/1975+
     Jorge & Yortuk Festrunk (Dan Aykroyd, Steve Martin), two newly arrived political refugee Czechoslovakian immigrant bachelors living in New York City whose hormones were set in gear to pick up some beautiful American women. Jiggling with excitement in polyester shirts and tight slacks, their popular catchphrases were "It is certainly not difficult now for any woman to notice our bul-ges."; "Fox-es!"; "You American girls have such big breasts all the time!"; and "We ARE two wild and cra-a-z-z-y guys!" These two swingers were part of a recurring sketch seen during the late 1970's.

former owner of the Manor.
