History
Production
In August 1977, Pizza Time Theatre had finalized their "Guest Star" concept with the creation of Helen Henny. They tasked Fantasy Forest with creating the Bot.
At Winchester
The Bot was installed at the Pizza Time Theatre on 370 S Winchester Blvd. on August 12th, 1977[1]. The Bot was installed with the Helen Henny Showtape. The Bot was replaced in February 1978 when Winchester Madam Oink was installed.
Fate
The fate of Winchester Helen is unknown as no photos of The Bot at Sunnyvale, Cupertino, or any other PTT Corporate location have been found. The Bot is possibly the same as Kooser Helen Henny, as the bots share the same design. The bot was most likely destroyed during the move to the Showbiz Pizza Time Corporate Office
Design
The Bot had long brown hair, brown eyes, yellow hands with red painted fingernails, a black necklace with a gold medallion, and wears a white shirt with a purple vest over it.
