What the link on Wikipedia says is;

"John Wayne and Andy Devine were among the hundreds of extras in the flood scene. Wayne also worked in the prop department for the film."

Now, I can't vouch for Wikipedia, as, from what I have heard, just about anyone can get on there to modify the information. But there you go, if you want to create some documentation, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. (-;

Here is a Great bio of Andy growing up in Kingman, Arizona, Though no mention of Noah's Ark.

Since I was a kid, Andy Devine has always been a favorite of mine.
Wikipedia has a couple on pages of interest, one a bio of Andy, Here, but not showing any book bios of his life.
Another Here, a Description of the movie "Noah's Ark", where it mentions Andy and Duke working on it,

I still remember watching "Andy's Gang" as a kid. There were Froggy the Gremlin, a mischievous frog puppet dressed in a tuxedo, ("Plunk your magic twanger, Froggie!") and animal co-hosts Midnight the Cat and a hamster named Squeaky the Mouse. For some reason, "plunk your magic twanger, Froggie" has remained imbedded in my mind when I think of Andy Devine.

Our family purchased approximately 30 of the old Roy Rogers westerns on DVD a few years ago, and Andy is prominently displayed as a sidekick in many of them.

What's interesting is that sometimes links highlight an entirely different side of someone than we already know. That seemed to be the case with Andy Devine.

Thanks, Keith, for that link - what a neat history on Andy!

Here are a few more links on this sweet man -

Happy reading!

This is the first of two posts, from a little over a year ago, about Andy Devine.

As I indicated in the linked post, I have always enjoyed Andy Devine, especially with Roy Rogers.
