Narrator: Throughout American history, mankind had left great landmarks of culture to Europe. These are the people, who became the greatest, since they were born in the United States: George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, Meriwether Lewis, William Clark, Kit Carson, John Powell, Susan B. Anthony, Sitting Bull, Pocahontas, Mark Twain, John Brown... and Audrey Smith. (The music pitches down) Yes, Audrey Smith. (The music stopped) Just as Shirley Temple was the first female child comedian, the tomboyish five-year-old New Yorker called Audrey Smith, officially known as the cute, warm-hearted and playful Little Audrey, was the most natural icon, originally created in 1947 by one of the world's major and most popular film companies, Paramount Pictures.

Part 2: The Birth of Little Audrey
Narrator: Of course, Little Audrey was the very first all-American orphan tomboy. Over the years, the Paramount studios' animation division, Famous Studios, is giving us more laughs from the Little Audrey cartoons than we can remember. The gags and jokes from these Little Audrey cartoons became part of the American animation landmark.
