Wow, thanks @slick jones!

That would be funny. I saw it in D.C. I never saw the extras for the film. I'll have to see whether it's on YT.

Loved Topol in "Fiddler." I was lucky enough to see him perform it on stage around 1990. The actress who played oldest daughter Tzeitel (Rosalind Harris) in the film played his wife Golde at that time.

She also wrote for a number of soaps, including Guiding Light, As the World Turns, Edge of Night, Search for Tomorrow, The Secret Storm and Love of Life.

A few articles from 1947 re radio soap called, "Here Comes Tomorrow." First soap with a Black cast, writer, producers, and sponsor.

She acted in theater, it seems. The most recent reference I could find was from September 2018, when she appeared in a play in Maine, directed by Judith Ivey. This article is from 2007. She mentions that she was not working for six years because of health issues and had a kidney transplant.

I remember reading that Gordon's going to ABC was because of Fred Silverman. He had seen Gordon's work and liked him. Apparently, Silverman did the same with several prime-time actors too. Of course, he then left for NBC.

I took them for granted, for one thing. Didn't imagine there would be so few around when I got older. I think I watched most that were on the air in the 70s, to varying degrees. I could only watch when I was out of school though. My mom watched the NBC soaps, so she could catch me up on those if I had questions. I would sometimes get home from school in time to watch the shows that came on in late afternoon. There used to be synopses in newspapers for the others, and then Soap Opera Digest. I remember calling a phone line to get synopses too. I would channel surf if my favorite soaps weren't showing anything I was interested in. Had a radio that could pick up tv broadcasts, once I left school. Bought a vcr in the 80s, which obviously made keeping up easier, but I also cut down on the number of shows I watched, as I didn't have as much free time.

I wonder too, especially since Beau’s character apparently drowned.

The Clear Horizon Per the February 24, 1962, The Daily Capital News, the full name of the character played by James Edwards was Corporal Mack Davis. His wife's (Kim Hamilton) name was Gloria.

Found an article from November 1971 that said Michael was a "new recruit" to SFT. An article from September 1971, announcing that Robby had been cast in the film, Jory, said that he would be on SFT until he left to film in Mexico, which was due to start on November 17, 1971. So maybe Michael was just a replacement until Robby finished filming Jory? Though I haven't found anything about Robby returning to SFT.

From 1972.

I found several references re Robby Benson already playing Bruce in 1971. The earliest mention I found was from August 1971. This one was from October 1971.

Sorry, I don't know either. Would like to see it myself.

I have a feeling Marland learned his "rules" from the mistakes he made at The Doctors, because he violated quite a few of them.

RIP. Loved him best as Alex. He was a villain with a sense of humor.

I once worked with a man who said in the late 60s/early 70s, our organization would measure the men's sideburns to ensure they weren't too long, so maybe Matt's obsession with Jody Lee's hair wasn't that far off. I remember my father being appalled at The Beatles "long" hair when they first became known.
