LOS ANGELES (AP) — Barney McNulty, who perfected the use of cue cards and worked with Bob Hope, Milton Berle and other Hollywood legends, died Monday. He was 77.
Credited with inventing cue cards, McNulty helped numerous actors shine with his behind-the-scenes work.
McNulty's career started in 1949 on "The Ed Wynn Show," when the host, looking for help through an illness, asked him to write down some lines on a card.
