TV and radio personality Soupy Sales died last night at the age of 83. Sales was known for getting many pies in the face, and for telling young viewers of his show to empty their mothers' purses and mail him the green pieces of paper with pictures of Presidents on them.
Soupy Sales reached his peak of popularity in the '50s and '60s but had major radio and TV appearances for decades afterward.
