Frankfurt, Germany, January 17, 1967: Comedian Jonathan Winters — in the guise of one of his most famous characters, Maudie Frickert — during a rehearsal of a Holiday on Ice show at the Festhalle. Winters was serving as emcee for the show, which was to be filmed for television. In an interview, Winters spoke of his past battles with alcohol and how he turned things around to create what he called "a sweet life."
