Peter Wolf was (and I imagine still is) a regular at the record store I used to work at. One night a coworker was at the store after hours and Peter wanted to come in and look around, but my coworker wouldn't let him in. I am only realizing just now what a perfect Three Little Pigs setup that is.

@XTina I fully believe the children of children who haven't been born yet will still be able to impersonate Peter Lorre and Edward G.
