When worlds collide...

Julie Newmar in The Twilight Zone

And behind the scenes:

Happy Valentines day

 

Beauty is in the Eye of the beholder

To Serve Man

The first Twilight Zone episode I ever watched.  I happened to get lucky one Saturday afternoon while bored at by brother's godmother's house and was allowed to watch TV.  From then on I was hooked.

Rest in peace

Maxine Stuart, 94, Dies; Acted on Stage, Film and TV

Maxine Stuart’s stage, film and television career spanned more than six decades, including a recurring role on the soap opera “The Edge of Night” and a guest spot on a memorable episode of “The Twilight Zone.”

But she was equally well known to readers of Helene Hanff’s nonfiction books “84, Charing Cross Road” and “Underfoot in Show Business” as Ms. Hanff’s deliciously dizzy sidekick in their attempts to make it on Broadway in the 1930s and ’40s.

Ms. Stuart, who died on June 6 at 94, makes several cameo appearances in “84,” as the book is known to its ardent fans. First published in 1970, it is an epistolary memoir of Ms. Hanff’s long correspondence with the staff of a London bookshop. (In the 1987 film version of the book, starring Anne Bancroft as Ms. Hanff, Ms. Stuart is played by Jean De Baer.)

In “Underfoot,” Ms. Stuart is a genuine co-star. That book, published in 1962, recounts Ms. Hanff’s years in New York as a struggling playwright in tandem with Ms. Stuart’s as a struggling actress.

Who it was

 Our last mystery woman was none other than Donna Douglas, best known for her role as:

 

Ellie Mae Clampett on the Beverly Hillbillies

 A turn starring with Elvis in Frankie & Johnny

And my personal favorite role as patient Janet Tyler(after the bandages came off, the part was split with actress Maxine Stuart playing under the bandages) in the Twilight Zone episode "Eye of the Beholder"

Best know as a blonde, no one seemed to connect the actress with being a brunette.

Edson Stroll

Attractive, dark-haired leading man Edson Stroll was born in Chicago in the mid-'30s and arrived in Hollywood just in time for television to have eaten away at most of the opportunities he might otherwise have had. Possessed of a deep voice to go with his good looks, he appeared in Westerns and adventure shows such as Tombstone Territory and Sea Hunt, plus a pair of Twilight Zone episodes, "The Eye of the Beholder" and "The Trade-ins," and the Elvis Presley vehicle G.I. Blues, in an uncredited role. He finally started getting leading parts in films in 1961, but those were in a pair of Three Stooges features, the too-opulent-for-its-own-good Snow White and the Three Stooges (playing Prince Charming) and The Three Stooges in Orbit. From there, his being cast as Gunner's Mate Virgil Edwards in the sitcom McHale's Navy -- playing the resident lothario of Ernest Borgnine's motley crew .

And BTW, YES I would.......
