I have always loved hearing the woman yelling out the window, Yoo-hoo, Mrs. Goldberg, and said so on my commentary. I should have researched who the woman was and have recently received her identification.
The woman in the window from “The Goldbergs” was comedienne Betty Walker. Born Edith Seeman in Elizabeth, New Jersey, Betty Walker was the daughter of Latvian immigrants who later appeared on many television programs.
Walker was known for a routine that involved a monologue to her friend “Ceil,” which also appeared in one of Walker’s comedy albums titled “Hello, Ceil It’s Me!” Over the course of her career, Walker released five comedy albums and appeared on prominent shows such as The Merv Griffin Show and the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. Her film career included “Exodus” starring Paul Newman, and “Who Is Harry Kellerman and Why Is He Saying Those Terrible Things About Me?” with Dustin Hoffman.
A great comedienne and even better neighbor, Betty Walker can be seen in Yoo-Hoo, Mrs. Goldberg and in her supporting role throughout the duration of The Goldbergs series. Special thanks go out to Mitch Gallob for remembering Betty Walker.
