REMEMBERING CROTON'S ALLEN FUNT OF CANDID CAMERA (& MT. AIRY!) FAME

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

Allen Albert Funt--who died this date in 1999--was an American television producer, director, writer and TV personality best known as the creator and host of Candid Camera. Mr. Funt also lived right here in Croton on Mt. Airy Road.  (You will also sometimes find his name incorrectly spelled as "Allan" and "Alan").

The Independent had an excellent tribute/obituary piece at  https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/obituary-allen-funt-1117146.html
