At the beginning of the episode "The Feathered Doll" there is a carnival scene in which an exotic "Egyptian" dancer is demonstrating her dance technique. There is also an elderly barker talking up her act. Both of the actors look familiar, especially the girl playing the Egyptian dancer. But neither character is named in the credits, either on-screen or on the IMDb. Does anyone recognize either one of them?

The only clue I can give you is that several years after this episode was filmed there is a similar routine in the Elvis Presley movie "Roustabout".
In that movie there is a dancer with the same name "Little Egypt" giving the same performance. You actually see her perform the dance act in the movie.
Not sure if it is the same girl playing Little Egypt, but recommend you check out the dance routine in Roustabout as it is very entertaining.
