Put out the welcome mat and wipe off
the good china because we've got guests coming today! Yes, The
Underworld has been home to a lot more viewing of vintage TV and it's
time once more to shine a little light on some guest stars that
caught our attention for one reason or another. We've been down this
road before here, here, here and here, but as you can imagine, the source
of material is inexhaustible.
Let's begin with our cover girl for
today's post, Miss Myrna Loy. We always love to see the stalwarts of
the silver screen doing a latter day stint on the small screen.
These pictures are from her 1967 role on an episode of The Virginian,
playing Charles Bickford's lady friend, who may become the widower's next wife.
Unfortunately, her overly strict and refined ways don't sit well with
his grandchildren, putting a cog in the wheels of her plan.
Aged sixty-two at the time of this
show, Ms. Loy had been absent from view since the 1960 film MidnightLace with this, and a guest spot on Family Affair, marking her return
to screen acting. Several more movies and TV projects were to follow
until her retirement in 1982.
Next up is blond teen William Katt
(later to become famous for The Greatest American Hero, 1981-1986,
among other things.) This 1972 appearance on Emergency! was the
first TV series credit of his though he'd popped up in two movies and
one telefilm beforehand.
As the son of a man who collapsed while
they were jogging together, he feels partly responsible for his
father's condition. Check out those crazy shorts, man! Interesting the way our attire for physical activity has changed so much over the years.
Also on Emergency!, we come upon
Jeanette Nolan as a wildly cantankerous old lady in a blue fright
wig! She's aggravated because the injury is keeping her from her own
birthday party.
Nolan (of Avalanche, 1978) was a very
familiar face on TV for decades and was capable of being very,very
good yet also sometimes very, very over the top! You cannot beat
these (in this case, deliberately) loony 1970s clothes, though.
This distraught mother is none other
than the acclaimed Miss Cicely Tyson. Her young son is taken to the
E/R following a sports injury, leaving her worried sick.
Already a longtime TV and movie veteran
by this point, it is hard to believe that she did this brief,
inconsequential role in a television episode the very same year that
she starred in Sounder (1972), which netted her an Oscar nomination
as Best Actress (Liza Minnelli won for Cabaret.) Anyway, she's
acting herself up such a little storm that her wig becomes slightly
askew during the scene. Two years later, Ms. Tyson took home an Emmy
for The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman, a landmark TV-movie. (Of
course, she's renowned in The Underworld for having suffered through
The Concorde: Airport '79!)
Speaking of inconsequential, we take a
peek at Don Matheson during a guest spot on Emergency! Matheson had
costarred on Land of the Giants from 1968-1970, but this 1972 walk-on
role was the only thing he'd done since! So small a bit part is it
that it's hard to even take note of the fact that it is he (playing a
man whose house is being robbed.) Fortunately, he was able to
continue finding TV roles to play through the late 1990s, though few
of any consequence.
Now, I thought this next one was
exciting. It's not listed on imdb.com (nor is the actor credited on
the episode.) Recognize the guy in the bell bottom jeans? I know
it's not a clear shot. Maybe if they were yanked down it would give
you a better idea of who this is...
As the college-aged friend of a nerd
who's locked himself in a freezer as part of a cryogenic experiment,
we see Roger Herren, costar of the infamous 1970 howler Myra
Breckinridge, in which he was sexually assaulted by Raquel Welch. He
has lines in this episode, though his imdb.com page lists only
Breckinridge and his uncredited appearance in Paint Your Wagon
(1969.)
We're changing the face of television
history here, folks, by digging up rare work done by cult camp icons!
(Okay, perhaps I overstate.... We found a bit part that few people
knew existed, done by a mysteriously MIA hunk...)
Anyway, fans of Breckinridge will
surely find it fun to see this extra glimpse of the guy who played
“Rusty Godowski!”
Speaking of uncredited bit parts, I was
watching season two of Ironside and during one scene in a grocery
store, the episode's guest criminal (Clu Gulagar) was trying to cash
a check with the clerk and she called the manager over to verify the
transaction. The manager (whose voice I instantly recognized) was
played by Bob Braun. Braun is a Cincinnati, Ohio icon who hosted his
own long-running talk show and who sang and acted for many years.
This one would mean more to folks
familiar with Ruth Lyons (whose show he worked on regularly) or those
who recall his hit song “Til Death Do Us Part” in 1962 or perhaps
his brief movie bits as a newscaster or talk show host. His son Rob
has been a longstanding Cincinnati news anchor. This role is also
absent from imdb.com.
Even more startling, though, was
watching Raymond Burr wheel himself into a crime scene and see
amongst the spectators someone who would later figure into one of the
crimes of the century, a twenty year-old O.J. Simpson!
Unbilled in this non-speaking
appearance, Simpson was already a star football player for UCLA,
having won The Heisman Trophy that year. He'd been dabbling in TV
work with similar unbilled appearances on Dragnet 1967 and It Takes a
Thief, but would soon become a much-heralded NFL star with the
Buffalo Bills and a final season with The 49ers (1978-1979.) His
acting career took on new life in 1974 with The Klansman and TheTowering Inferno and would continue to flourish right up to that day
in 1994 when his ex-wife and her friend were savagely murdered.
Acquitted of that crime, he later was arrested for kidnapping and
armed robbery and has been serving jail time for that, with an
expected release in 2017 (now that he's been paroled on some of the
charges.)
Essaying a far more integral part of
another Ironside episode was Miss Diane Ladd, playing the fretful
wife of a man whose business was destroyed in a race riot.
She has more to be worried about than
just that, however, when it looks as if her husband may also have
been responsible for a murder and even may be planning to leave her
for one of their female friends! Maybe it was the glasses?
By the way, at this time, Ladd was
married to Bruce Dern (they are the parents of actress Laura Dern),
though they divorced in 1969. Here, we see the recent Oscar nominee
for Nebraska (2013) way back in 1964 when he guest-starred on an
episode of The Fugitive.
We next went on board The Love Boat for
more celebrity-laden adventures. One 1978 episode had cruise
director Lauren Tewes' parents coming for a visit. They were
portrayed by Three's Company's Norman Fell and Laverne &
Shirley's Betty Garrett.
The at-that-time often simply-dressed
Garrett (using what appeared to be her own long hair with maybe a
little help at times) was unusually glitzy, with jewels dripping and
an array of smart '70s outfits (along with the requisite head
kerchief in one scene.)
This guest shot must have been a nice
departure from the more everyday,neighborly sorts of roles she'd been
essaying on All in the Family (1973-1975) and Laverne & Shirley
(1976-1981.)
Another episode had master of the
macabre Vincent Price playing an illusionist with a faithful,
lovelorn assistant portrayed by Joan Blondell.
Blondell (without benefit of a wig?)
was looking good and sported some flattering makeup.
Price was besieged by three fanatical
hangers on during the cruise, much to Blondell's dismay. Do you
recognize any or all of these ladies?
One thing I adore about The Love Boat
is its usage of actors and actresses who might not have been seen
very much in their waning years. I like to call myself a classic
film buff, but I actually didn't even know these women! Only their
names seemed vaguely familiar, but it was nice to see them in action,
doing their thing.
This was the second-to-last thing that
Iris Adrian ever did (the last thing being one more episode of Boat
in 1986.) The scene-stealing scamp had been in movies since the
late-1920s, some of them including Roxie Hart (1942), The Paleface
(1948), Blue Hawaii (1961) and That Darn Cat! (1965.) She passed
away in 1994 from ailments initiated by the Northridge earthquake at
age eighty-two. Singer-actress Jane Kean was active on television
from the late-1940s on, with The Phil Silvers Show (1956-1959) and,
notably, The Jackie Gleason Show (1966-1970), as the second “Trixie
Norton,” among her credits. Her final role came in 2013, the same
year she died at age ninety of a stroke. Bibi Osterwald had also
been active on TV since the late-1940s, guest-starring countless
times and having a regular role on Bridget Loves Bernie (1972-1973.)
She worked, often using her voice talent, up until 2001, passing away
in 2002 at age eighty-three of lung disease.
We recently paid tribute to Miss
America 1959 Mary Ann Mobley (with the inclusion of her husband Gary
Collins) and here we see the two of them in their prime.
Mr. C. even gave us a little beefcake
in a scene by the pool (a chief side effect of these moments
typically being an assortment of decent-looking men cavorting around
in the background!)
As he went to sit up, we see him trying
to keep his trunks from riding up too high (and can already see from
the difference in his tan level that they are shorter than his usual
attire.) There's even a brief peek at the white lining as he lies
back down.
One episode featured a kissing bandit
(played by Billy Crystal) who would go around smooching unsuspecting
female passengers, two of whom were putting up a fuss despite
actually wanting desperately to be accosted! They were played by
stalwart character actresses Pat Carroll and Nancy Kulp (of The
Beverly Hillbillies, 1962-1971.)
Neither lady is filmed with any sort of
affection or attention (they don't ever get even one single close-up
apiece!) as they play out their tale and one gets the feeling that
Nolan Miller wasn't doing bell kicks over having to dress them based
on some of the items that ended up on their backs.
Still, it's campy, corny fun to see
them complaining about the kiss-stealer while praying that they will
be his next victims. Ms. Kulp only made a handful of acting
appearances after this, choosing to enter the political arena and
later teaching acting. She passed away in 1991 of cancer at age
sixty-nine. Ms. Carroll (fondly remembered as the ravenous voice of
Ursula in The Little Mermaid, 1989) is still going strong at
eighty-six and even had a bit part Bridesmaids (2011) and is
costarring in a film this year (BFFs, 2014.)
Before we dock from The Love Boat, I
also have to point out this guest appearance. This is the final on
screen acting gig in the limited career of Maureen Reagan (daughter
of Ronald and his one-time wife Jane Wyman.) Her career lasted from
1963 to 1978 before segueing into politics and yet somehow in this
final stint before the cameras she manages to commit a cardinal sin
by staring right into the camera for several moments during her first
scene! (And I think you can really see the Jane Wyman in her there,
too.)
You might recall our hefty tribute to
Matt Houston and the plethora of celebrities who guest-starred on
that series the first year. Well, I held back a few of the stars for
use in this post, starting with child/teen model Lori Loughlin. Loughlin had done a
couple of teeny, uncredited bits and was appearing on the daytime soap The Edge of Night, but this 1982 featured role was the
start of her prime-time acting career. She would later proceed to a lengthy stint from 1988-1995
on Full House (a show I am proud to say I have never once seen a full
episode of!) Still busy today, she appeared in the redux of 90210
(2008-2012) and now works on the Hallmark series When Calls the
Heart.
Another young lady near the start of
her career was Lynn Herring, who popped up as a football cheerleader.
Having only been in the business a couple of years at this point,
she would go on to considerable success on daytime TV as Lucy Coe on
General Hospital and Port Charles (1987-2014 between the two.)
We're still looking at fledglings at
this point and this next example is the first screen credit for
Malcolm-Jamal Warner, who would later soar to stardom with all the
other cast members of The Cosby Show (1984-1992.) He plays the son
of a gardener who is critically wounded during a murder attempt.
While Warner may have later developed a
talent for dialogue, expression and interaction during his years with
Bill Cosby, he is downright bad in this installment of Houston,
mugging without cause and treating his emotional breakdown scene as
if he was given an unseasoned lima bean to swallow and felt the need
to tearlessly spit it out into his hand.
Of course, I don't know know if young
Warner was any worse in his performance than the arguably more
experienced Mr. Blackwell (he of the annual “Ten Worst Dressed
Women” list) who was cast as a persnickety clothing designer named
“Valentine St. Clair.”
Get a load of this outfit! He's in the
middle of telling off Britt Ekland in this shot. (He may have been a clothing designer in real life, but he did get his start as an actor - Richard Selzer was his name - though you'd hardly know it from this!)
The security guard standing next to
David Cassidy here is former child actor Paul Petersen of The Donna
Reed Show (1958-1966.) By 1982, he was reduced to playing walk-ons
as policemen and such in eight episodes of this show (between
1982-1985) and others with few viewers probably realizing that he'd
once been a popular teen performer.
Do you recognize the star behind the
sunglasses below (alongside William Smith)?
In this Sunset Boulevard-ish episode, a
former screen legend is returning to her old studio for the first
time in years to film a Biblical epic, but is scared about making the
comeback.
The actress playing this part is Miss
Janet Leigh. For scenes at the character's home, portraits of the
real Leigh were strewn about.
Her daughter in the episode was played
by a rather unlikely Jill Whelan (of the aforementioned The Love Boat, 1978-1987.)
This last shot if of Miss Leigh in her
get-up as “Delilah” (as a counterpart to Norman Desmond's
comeback role of “Salome”) and a rare chance at seeing her as a
brunette.
Finally, from Matt Houston, we have the
divine Miss Stella Stevens. Take a look at this series of pictures
of her a full decade after The Poseidon Adventure (1972.)
She still looks pretty amazing in a
similarly styled dress and hairdo.
I want to hate her because she got to
plant a big kiss on Lee Horsley's lips, but I can't! She's terrific.
A skim through the old HBO series The
Hitchhiker (remember it? 1983-1991) brings forth some early work from
Michael Madsen. He got his start in movies in 1982 and proceeded to
mix them with TV work. In this 1985 episode, he's the jealous
boyfriend of a girl who's cheating on him.
In true Hitchhiker fashion (the cable
show often had more violence, skin and adult language that its
network competition), there's a “steamy” love scene between him
and the actress (Penelope Milford) playing his gal pal.
He incorrectly believes that Milford is
cheating on him with Edward Albert, but in actuality she's been
dating Belinda Montgomery!
Fans of his might appreciate this look
at him in his early days.
Likewise, fans of Sixteen Candles
(1984), Vision Quest (1985), Longtime Companion (1989) and Mermaids
(1990) might like seeing mid-'80s heartthrob Michael Schoeffling in a
shot from this 1986 episode. He played the mysterious younger lover
of loony Susan Anspach.
Schoeffling was a wrestler-turned-model
who made an impression in Hollywood for a time before completely
exiting stage right with his wife and two children in 1991. They
moved to Pennsylvania where he began running a successful
furniture-making business that they still maintain today. (After all
those years of giving many of his gay fans “wood,” he's still
serving it in a different way for those who still want some!
Bah-dum-bump!)
This shot of Greg Evigan and Lucy
Gutteridge has the unmistakable face of Susan Tyrell between them.
As a rich-bitch client at a resort, she
delights in having tennis pro Evigan administer to her needs.
Only Tyrell can manage to make about
thirty facial expressions in one brief shot, only a few of which are
depicted in this collage!
Now what is this fluffy-haired,
chiffon-draped personage flouncing across the screen in another 1986
episode?
Oh, look! It's Madeleine Sherwood (of
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, 1958, and The Flying Nun, 1967-1970, fame!)
She plays a busy body interloper who threatens to spoil the plans of
Barry Bostwick and Dayle Haddon in doing away with Haddon's husband
Willem Dafoe (these old shows offer up a fun collection of
performers!)
And look at this handsome devil.
That's David James Elliott (billed then as simply “David Elliott”)
in a 1989 installment.
He plays an appealing guy who becomes
embroiled in the convoluted issues of prostitute Melody Anderson.
Elliott was a steadily-employed actor at this point, but still a
couple of years away from the fame of JAG, which ran from 1995-2005.
He was/is a good-looking man. I
enjoyed him so much as “Ripp Cockburn” in the wrongly-maligned
and swiftly-cancelled show GCB (2012.)
Do we recognize this heavily made-up
face?
It must be said that the ultra-heavy
make-up was part of the plot line of this 1987 edition of The
Hitchhiker, so it's not merely bad taste in personal styling. Here we
see the actress in question with fewer cosmetics on, though even
this, along with the jewelry, is more than we're accustomed to seeing
on her.
Yes, this is Helen Hunt, playing a
rich, troubled party girl who is made over by a gay playmate who is
wearing almost as much as she is. At this stage, Hunt was fresh off
Peggy Sue Got Married (1986) and about to do Project X (1987), but
still a few years away from the sitcom Mad About You (1992-1999) that
really brought her to the public's attention (resulting in the 1997
hit As Good as It Gets, which earned her an Academy Award. Somehow,
she trumped Helena Bonham Carter, Julie Christie, Judi Dench and Kate
Winslet to take it home!)
Lastly, we take a peek at some recent
shows that have unearthed performers that have been around for a
while. Modern Family has been a nice source of these types of
appearances (before my burglary last year, I had planned on featuring
Maxwell Caulfield and a few others in a post, but the photos are now
gone.) This 2013 episode gave us '80s/'90s character actress Ann
Magnuson in a hilarious turn as an overly eager and rules-oriented
retirement village security agent who keeps breathing down Ty
Burrell's neck.
Another wonderful character actress,
Mary Jo Catlett, who was a TV fixture from the 1970s on, including
Diff'rent Strokes (1982-1986), showed up as one of Eric Stonestreet's
card-playing cohorts. Now in her mid-seventies, Ms. Catlett
continues to provide amusing turns in various programs including
voice-acting on SpongeBob SquarePants.
Though she doesn't read as old as Ms.
Catlett, fellow guest star Anita Gillette is actually two years her
senior. Stage actress and frequent TV performer Gillette has the
unusual distinction of having played both Jack Klugman's wives on
Quincy, M.E. She portrayed his deceased first wife in a flashback in
1979, then came on the show in 1982 as his girlfriend (a whole other
character) who he eventually married!!! I guess he had very
consistent taste in women.
A familiar face from the 1990s is Amy
Yasbeck, costar of Wings (1994-1997) and of films such as Robin Hood:
Men in Tights (1993), The Mask (1994) and Dracula: Dead and Loving It
(1995.) Yasbeck hails from a Cincinnati suburb about five miles from my house.
She played one of Ty Burrell's real
estate clients who comes to depend on him for far more than just
finding her a house. She, along with a few other ladies, soon wants
him to pitch in with attending her son's school events and everything
including grocery shopping!
She is also known as the wife of John
Ritter, who died suddenly of a heart defect in 2003, leaving her to
raise their five year-old daughter without him. Like most everyone
else in this post, it's fun to see her pop up out of the blue on a
current show.
I can count on one hand how many
current (scripted) television series that I watch. When TNT decided
to resurrect the prime-time soap opera warhorse Dallas (which ran on
CBS from 1978-1991), I was skeptical to say the least (especially
after every conceivable type of rumor had floated around previously,
such as a movie version being done with John Travolta and Jennifer
Lopez! Seriously!) I won't go so far as to say that the show is
flawless, but it is remarkably, surprisingly decent! Even better is
the fact that they have occasionally brought back some of the
original stars of the show (this apart from the ones who came back
full-time or semi-regularly such as the late Larry Hagman, Patrick
Duffy, Linda Gray and Ken Kercheval.)
It's hyper-annoying that almost every
time Steve Kanaly (“Ray”) and Charlene Tilton (“Lucy”) have
appeared, it's been with them glued-together at the hip, standing
outside in the wind, but at least they've been invited on. Kanaly is
in his mid-sixties now and Tilton her mid-fifties. Their characters
are uncle and niece to each other, with Kanaly presumably married to
Jenna, but they are always presented as a duo except for the few
times Tilton broke away for a line or two with someone else.
The episode in which J.R. Ewing's
funeral was held (due to Hagman's passing in real life) was a true
treat for fans of the old show since Ted Shackelford (“Gary”),
Cathy Podewell (“Cally”) and Deborah Shelton (“Mandy”) also
showed up. Joan Van Ark (“Valene”) came back in another episode
as well.
I feel like I have to mention that even though Linda Gray doesn't look too terribly great in these selections (something odd is going on with her facial structure and jawline?), on the show itself, she is dressed terrifically well, has amazing hair and often looks really great. Angles are everything, especially as we age (and Ms. Gray is seventy-three!)
Another blast from the past was Audrey
Landers (“Afton”), who has been on twice and looks, in my
opinion, quite amazing. She's pushing sixty! Her character's
daughter is one of the leads of the new rendition of the show.
She's surely had some things worked on, but has avoided that severe, over-stretched, freakish quality that so many show business women of a certain age demonstrate. I wish she were on the show more often (and I was no big fan of hers back in the day!)
It was neat that the first season of
the new Dallas kept the same (if truncated slightly) theme song as
the original, especially in an era where opening credits seem to be
taboo, but it was so disappointing when they failed to incorporate
the iconic three-fold photos of the cast members as their names
appeared.
When the show returned this year, that
oversight had been corrected and now the credits are very similar to
the way they were back in the original show's heyday! (Sorry about the ad at the link!) For a
nostalgic old coot like me, this was tremendously gratifying and more
than welcome. The new aspect ratio for televisions even lends itself
to this type of look more now than it did before! (Little things
make me happy...) By the way, if you are not watching this show, you
are missing some very charismatic and seductive work by Mitch Peleggi
as the show's new villain and the stalwart Judith Light as his
dastardly mother!

What an entertainingly-exhausting posting!!!
First, I absolutely LOVE Susan Tyrell. She had some of the best facial expressions of all time. Was very sad when she passed away a couple of years ago.
Secondly, The Hitchhiker was a great sexy and campy show. Karen Black fans (like myself) might want to check out her amazing performance in the episode Hired Help...where she delivers the great line, "Why don't you make yourself comfortable, like take off all your clothes."
Finally, I have to agree with you. It looks like Audrey Landers has had some work done. Don't think I would have recognized her! And now, I must go pull out my Audrey Landers record and listen to her oh-so-catchy song Manuel Goodbye.
I love these great strolls down guest star lane.
I've been a fan of Yasbeck for many years and wondered why she never took off. Now I'm thinking maybe having married Ritter and having a child may have had something to do with it.
I last saw her on "Hot in Cleveland" as a lesbian pop singer hot after Valerie Bertinelli.
Lori Loughlin keeps getting more beautiful with age. Her new show hardly allows for vast amounts of makeup and it is nice to see how wonderful she looks. I've always thought she was much better than what Full House or 90210 offered her.
Here is a bit of trivia: Lori Loughlin has the distinction of being one of the few actresses to have portrayed DC's Black Canary in a live action show, "Birds of Prey." Though I don't recall her wearing the black suit she did get to use her "canary cry" to escape from a trap.
Finally, I'm going to have to do picture hunting of Ed Fury. I would love to see some more pictures of his!
Thanks again for the wonderful stroll!
In regards to Lori Laughlin, she was already appearing on Edge of Night (and had been for a couple of years) by the time of that appearance on 'Matt Houston'. And while I'm mentioning soaps, I immediately recognized the man with Anita Gillette in that episode of 'Modern Family' (featured in that screenshot) as actor Jeffery Pomerantz who appeared on a slew of soaps, but might best be remembered for playing Dr. Peter Jansen for a number of years on 'One Life to Live' where he was paired romantically with Jane Badler (best known as Diana on the mini-series & TV series 'V') who played Melinda Cramer. I recognized Pomerantz immediately and was quite impressed by exactly how well he's aged.
never thought myrna loy would take me down this road....excellent!
I forgot to add:
At first I did not love the new version of "Dallas." However, I too, am growing to enjoy it. Ted Shackelford and Patrick Duffy can both heat my crock pot any time.
Linda Gray is stunning for 73. That's much older than I assumed she was these days. The gal can still rock the heels and toss the minis with the best of them.
Finally (and this is to Matt) I L-O-V-E Jane Badler. These days she's somewhere between cabaret/performance and recording artist. I've yet to get the new CD but the last CD of hers was amazing. A total tribute to the night time soaps of the 80s.
Hey everyone, thanks for all the fun comments! Knuckles, I will definitely have to seek out that KarenBlack "Hitchhiker" episode. She's always a hoot. NotFelix, be sure to report back on your Ed Fury findings! Oh, and I'm sure you also recall the time Black Canary was "played" by a towering model named Dunatra or something like that...! I just saw Jane Badler in a very early role in a TVM called "Terror Among Us." She was playing a stewardess who works alongside Sarah Purcell. Purcell and four flight attendant pals are being stalked by a rapist. The rapist? Ted Shackelford!!! small, small world.
Matt, stupid me for trusting imdb.com, which listed Loughlin as being on EON in 1983 only. Too many things to look up and I didn't cross-reference it as I usually do things I'm not very familiar with. I have fixed the post to reflect your correction. Thanks!
As always wonderfully entertaining. I've seen that episode of The Virginian recently and Myrna plays quite a pill in it but she is wonderful as usual.
That's quite a look Jeanette Nolan is rockin', it would be funny if I hadn't seen women who actually look like that on the street or in a store occasionally!
I recognized Iris Adrian right away from innumerable parts as floozies, dance hall girls and as she aged landladies and the like. I often confuse her though with Isabel Jewell, an actress similar in type but with a bigger career including playing that trashy Emmy Slattery in Gone With the Wind.
I love Pat Carroll and Nancy Kulp but egads their outfits are eyesores! And yes I definitely see Jane Wyman in Maureen Reagan's face.
Audrey Landers does look great and not overdone. I think she still looks like herself as does the seemingly ageless Anita Gillette. Unlike another subject in this round-up Janet Leigh, a lovely woman when young who became more and more vacuum packed as the years moved on.
Thanks for the inclusion of all the swoony men! Michael Schoeffling and David James Elliott were both so beautiful then, DJE is still handsome and I would guess that Schoeffling has aged well. Micheal Madsen was cute in his way but he's been through so much he's pretty rough now. Ed Fury of course was a Zeus.
Thanks for all the effort Poseidon it was endlessly fascinating.
Many stars donated their time to counseling at the Gay and Lesbian Center in Hollywood. Twice when I got tested there my counsellors were Anita Gillette and Barbara Sharma.
