Kooser Dolli Dimples (Animatronic)

Dolli Dimples, Unknown Year

Kooser Dolli Dimples was the first animatronic iteration of Dolli Dimples featured at the San Jose, CA (1371 Kooser Rd) Pizza Time Theatre during its opening in December 1978.

History

Dolli Dimples was Pizza Time Theatre's first stand alone side-act, originally inhabiting the Piano Bar Lounge, which in later years became commonly known as the Cabaret Room. This larger than life "Hippo from Hoboken" was very sultry, and was initially designed for parents.

Dolli Dimples first appeared at the second Pizza Time Theatre store, located on Kooser Road in San Jose. Since the Kooser store was roughly four times the size of the original pilot location, they had to develop new ideas simply to fill the space that Kooser had to offer. One of those ideas was to carve out a large section of the restaurant to create a separate room, which was titled the Piano Bar Lounge, or sometimes the Dolli Dimples Cabaret. Inside of this separate room was where Dolli performed. Dolli was first voiced by a nineteen year old San Jose performer named Donna Miller.

Originally meant to entertain adults, Dolli's performances had a sexy edge to them, and her breasts literally heaved up and down thanks to an added animatronic bouncing movement. She often quipped comments to the guys in the crowd, describing her long string of husbands, and telling the audience members that they were getting her all "hot and bothered" among other subtle and not-so-subtle flirty innuendos. Because of the suggestive nature of her performances, Gene Landrum
