She would get annoyed when she thought people weren't talking about The Doctors (even when they were), lol. I enjoyed it. -
@dc11786 is correct re Barry vs. Barney (and now I'm thinking about Bunny Lake, lol). Found these brief synopses from 1957: Barney Lake delivers a warning. Barney Lake offers Lenore Bradley some free ammunition for a "battle of the sexes." Barney Lake reveals the source of his bitterness.

Oh, wow. Althea is an unusual name so that really is a huge coincidence. Now I’m curious.

@amybrickwallace Did you hear EH mutter to herself, "oh, that guy," when Anna mentioned Allen Potter? I'd love to hear more about that, lol.

I know! I wonder who did the baby's "coo," lol?
Clippings re Right to Happiness, 1939-1942.
Aunt Jenny - no character name but he played a doctor By Kathleen Norris - Full name was Lance Todhunter (1939) When a Girl Marries - Phil Stanley (1943) Hello Peggy - Speedy per newspaper article, but Variety Radio Directory said he was Windy (1938) Stella Dallas - Leopold Parke (1947 so may be different from the 1951 appearance) Rocky Gordon - Dick Frawley (1940) Front Page Farrell - Lester, piano player in a restaurant (1943) Big Town - Dusty Miller Appeared in unnamed roles on Grand Central Station, True Story, and The Goldbergs (1938); NBC Court of Human Relations (1937 or earlier); and Easy Aces (1940 or earlier)
@slick jones The first Joyce Jordan appearance was 1940. She was on with her then husband, Erik Rolf.
Character's name was Nancy Grant (Mommie). On Joyce Jordan, her character was named Ellen Harris.
Despite the glitches, I enjoyed the stories they were telling. A couple of them were quite funny. I was not surprised to hear that Gil Gerard was not pleasant to work with, lol. Nice to hear the opposite was true of Armand Assante. Sounds like TD was a great working experience for everyone. And I don't know how it's possible that Frank Telfer is 76 years old!
I thought I recognized that name and then I thought, surely not, lol!
I was wondering what sort of operation she had. I was thinking lobotomy at first, lol.
Ads from the 1940s.
Thanks for the articles Paul. That real life court case sounds interesting. I would love to see a series based on Irna's life. She seems fascinating to me. Wonder who could play her, lol?
Re Three Steps to Heaven, Kay Medford played Elaine, night club hostess. Sam Gilman played Monty, a bartender. Poco is described as a NYC model whose roots are still deep in her Midwestern hometown. Poco's husband, Bill Morgan, was a writer. Barry Thurmond was Poco's brother and Uncle Frank was her uncle. Vince Bannister was a nightclub owner-racketeer. Was trying to break up Poco and Bill, by trying to convince Poco that Bill was a bigamist.
Lyle Sudrow played Angus MacDonald on Lora Lawton. Karl Weber played Brook Forrester (really) on Romance of Helen Trent in 1941. Didn't find anything about his 1953 role.
A few more for Hawkins Falls. From NBC press release, Nov. 1951, Jack Bivans plays Mike Pargin, who returns to Hawkins Falls after his business fails. From NBC press release, Mar. 1955, mentions that Pat O’Neal plays Perry Hyden. I’m guessing this is the man little Nellie was with when Lona met her. From April 1954, Minneapolis Star, Rupert LaBelle has just finished a run on a Hawkins Falls.
More Hawkins Falls: From January 1953 issue of Variety, add actors: Sam Siegel Les Podewell Norma Ransom Henry Elders (who played the District Attorney according to a blurb in newspapers.com) Stanley Gordon Muriel Bremner Irwin Cherone From various Ross Reports on Television, add actors: Emmet Vogan Jean Christian Gary Walberg Herb Newcomb Henry Barnard From newspapers.com (multiple newspapers): Lucile Lorelle played Clara Fennert. From Radio-TV Mirror: Tony Eben (child actor) Ronny and Richard Holm were also child actors. Richard looked a few years older than Ronny (who appeared to be close to Tony's age). All the children are described as Lona's neighbors.
Re Hawkins Falls: Toughy's last name was Padget and was played by John Galvarro. Per a 1956 Radio TV Mirror article, Jayne Heller also had a role (unknown character). Also, Carol Corey was Floyd's sister; trying to cause trouble between Floyd and Lona. I also learned that Bridget Daly Brazlen (that's the spelling in the articles I found that mentioned Hawkins Falls, but the articles were about her mother) was the same Brigid Bazlen who played Salome in King of Kings.
Re GL and Arthur Peterson being written out, these clippings are from the Minneapolis Star Tribune. The first one is from a 1949 article re Arthur Peterson's father (Arthur, Sr.). The other three are from a 1980 interview of Arthur (Jr.). Both mention GL moving to the west coast. Was that once a plan?
