Members danfling Posted May 3, 2014 Members Share Posted May 3, 2014 I could not locate a thread for the show Concerning Miss Marlowe. Efrem Zimbalist Jr., who later became a staple of 1960s and ’70s TV as the star of ABC dramas “77 Sunset Strip” and “The F.B.I.,” has died. He was 95. He appeared on Concerning Miss Marlowe as Jim in 1954 and 1955. Zimbalist died Friday at his home in Solvang, Calif., according to a statement issued by his daughter, actress Stephanie Zimbalist, and son Efrem Zimbalist III. “We are heartbroken to announce the passing into peace of our beloved father, Efrem Zimbalist, Jr., today at his Solvang, Calif. ranch. A devout Christian, he actively enjoyed his life to the last day, showering love on his extended family, playing golf, and visiting with close friends.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Paul Raven Posted February 28, 2018 Members Share Posted February 28, 2018 Billboard Review Concerning Miss Marlowe (TV) Cast: Louise Albritton. Jane Seymour. Helen Shield, John Gibson. Patti Bosworth. Eddie Brian. Producer, Tom McDermott. Director. Larry White. Writers, John Pickard. Frank Provo. (NBC -TV. 3:35.4 p.m. EDT. July 5.) NBC -TV has lined up an impressive new soap opera block for its daily 2 -4:30 p.m. time period. "Concerning Miss Marlowe," sponsored on an alternate -day basis by Procter & Gamble, is the most glamorous entry, with Louise Albritton playing a celebrated actress as contrasted with the s u b u r ban housewife -white collar motif of the other epics. However, the ladies don't mind a little glamour if the heroine's swank outer trapping mask plenty of inward torment. In fact. a you -cant- buy -happiness theme has its compensations, since it probably enables the little woman to face a sinkful of dirty dishes with less animosity than usual, comforted by the thought that sometimes it's rough to be rich. Miss Albritton is a decorative and accomplished actress, although the opening scene (wherein she gazed soulfully at some unidentified photos) required her to bear down a bit too hard on registering silent emotion. Monday's show spotlighted her return from a successful engagement in England, with plans to retire from the stage and raise a family. Tragic Day! However, sponsor forbid that any poor girl's life should run smoothly on daytime video. The finish found her stunned with grief after a friend (Bill Cooke) broke the news that the man she planned to marry had died four days ago.This seemed a rather drastic device to stir up excitement, but it certainly made it obvious that Miss Albritton wasn't going to settle down to a vine- covered coltage for the next few episodes. The apartment setting was really expensive looking and the sheet-covered furniture gave the star some effective business on her first entrance, as well as firmly establishing the fact of her return home after a long sojourn abroad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Paul Raven Posted July 18, 2019 Members Share Posted July 18, 2019 Some story from this show Maggie Marlowe was 40 and a renowned theater actress. She had planned to retire but following the death of her fiance she accepted a role in a new play for financial and emotional security. A determined young ingenue, Kit Christy, upstaged her, damaging her reputation as a result. Maggie discovered Kit was her long lost daughter. Kit had a boyfriend Ralph. Maggie met Jim Gavin, a dashing married barrister. Jim's wife Barbara was less concerned by this affair than his mother Belle Mare Gavin. Believing her career would benefit Kit welcomed the overtures of Bojalian, an unscrupulous director. Barbara died of an overdose. Jim was suspected but the culprit was Mike Donovan, Barbara's lover. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Paul Raven Posted November 8, 2022 Members Share Posted November 8, 2022 December 2 1954 A newcomer to television, pretty Patti Bosworth, has her first dramatic role,. as 18 year old Cindy Clayton on NBC's new daytime serial Concerning Miss Marlowe (3:45-400 pm EST Monday through Friday) which stars Hoilywood's Louise Allbritton as Maggie Marlowe. Patti, who actually is 18, is a professional model (with Powers and more recently with Hartford) who displays college girl fashions in most of the leading magazines in the country, and not only looks the part, but is a college girl in real life attending Sarah Lawrence College in New York City. Although her theater experience is short, her acting talent evidently is not, for she played the lead in such summer productions.as, Ah Wilderness, Barrett's of Wimpole Street and Liliiom at at the Berkshire Playhouse in Massachusetts. Her television appearances up to now have been limited to live and filmed commercials. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Paul Raven Posted April 26, 2023 Members Share Posted April 26, 2023 Radio Mirror July 55 ALTHOUGH fame and fortune have always been envied and sought after, they can prove to be poor substitutes for happiness and love — as actress Maggie Marlowe knows only too well. Today, Maggie can look back on many successful years as a leading lady. But all the glamour and notoriety with which she has been showered have not been able to wash away the emptiness and unhappiness she has experienced. Now, Maggie yearns more than ever for love and the security of a happy home. . . . Twice in her life, Maggie has lost the one she loved: When she was a young girl, her husband died suddenly. More recently, tragedy struck when, on the eve of her marriage to Roger Anderson he, too, passed away. . . . Bitterly unhappy, Maggie decided to continue on in the theater, finding her life once again filled with surprises and complications — especially since she met and fell in love with Jim Gavin, well- known international lawyer. Unhappily married to a woman who would not grant him a divorce, Jim became free to marry Maggie after the recent death of his wife. ... As she contemplates her marriage to Jim, Maggie's heart rejoices, for now, at long last, she is finding her dream of love and security becoming more of a reality with each passing day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
