I would love to see episodes of Executive Suite, but only a few promos have surfaced. I would also like to see Married The First Year that ran a few episodes in 1979. Leigh J. McCloskey starred in both.

Lee Horsley had several short lived series including 1994-95 Hawkeye with co-star Lynda Carter. Unfortunately, he was often viewed as a poor man's Tom Selleck. I enjoyed Horsley in the series Matt Houston, but the format was constantly being tweaked which was often frustrating. In the first season it had a lot of comedy elements and a revolving door of guests like other Spelling productions. The supporting cast was dropped mid-season with the exception of co-star Pamela Hensley ( as C.J. Parsons) and the famous guest stars were scaled back. In season 2 they sexed it up with Matt often hitting the sheets with a babe of the week, including episodes of Matt and later C.J. being stalked ala Play Misty For Me/Fatal Attraction. Season 3 they dug Buddy Ebsen out of moth balls to play Matt's Uncle. I'm surprised Spelling didn't use Horsley in one of his soaps.

🤣......I'm surprised Dian didn't try to get a role on one of the soaps. She did some guest stints in the 70's on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Vegas etc...

A studio master copy of the first Battle Of The Network Stars from 1976.

I missed the documentary but will try to see it when it pops up again or on youtube. I figured Dian and Janice would not participate. Dian has not been seen or heard from in decades and Janice still speaks fondly of Barker and the show even though she was let go by management in 2000. I would be curious to hear more from Anitra Ford. She comments occasionally on a Price Is Right Facebook page. She has fond memories of the show. Someone asked her about Dian and she spoke positively about working with her. She referred to her as beautiful and vulnerable.

🤣

LOL...Yes, Linda Thompson is another. Joe Hamilton also had a first wife and a house full of kids before he married Carol. Vicki Lawrence said after she signed on to do the syndicated version of Mama's Family, she and Carol did not speak for years. Carol had wanted to produce her own version of MF with her reprising Eunice and Vicki as Mama, but Joe beat her to the punch.

I saw some photos of him and his family in Google search. Korver now usually wears a beard and longer hair. After Korver was let go from ATWT, Y&R should have picked him up to play Chuck Foster or Brooks Prentiss.

I always wondered who played the back of his head in those scenes.....LOL. Dian got around. She gave an interview in 1991 (around the time she first did Playboy) where she claimed she was recently in a long term relationship with Joe Hamilton (Carol Burnett's ex) till he died which devastated her. She then said she was comforted by her long time friend of 18 years Kenny Rogers (where she admitted the friendship had recently turned sexual).....LOL Supposedly she also had affairs with Smokey Robinson and Tim Reid in the 80's. I think she was also involved with David Hasselhoff at some point. It has also been stated that Dian had a thing for Pat Sajak back in the 80's and would openly flirt with him when WOF moved it's production to CBS from the NBC Burbank Studios. I think she was also jealous of Vanna White who was getting all the press then. Dian's first husband in the late 60's/early 70's was Robert Parkinson the Executive of the Miss World Pageant. It's rumored she married for a third time in the early 2000's.

Thanks for the info. It appears he left acting around 2004 and operates a film business.

Holly was my favorite too. I also liked Janice. Dian as you said came across as a gold digger. She was always running around half naked.......LOL. I was surprised she was once married to E. Duke Vincent who was one of the top dogs in the Spelling-Goldberg empire. Vincent married actress Pamela Hensley after they met on the set of the Spelling production Matt Houston. Hensley retired from acting shortly after MH wrapped. Daytime viewers were always looking for backstage drama and gossip of the CBS soaps, but it was sweet little Price Is Right where most of the juicy stuff was unfolding.

Was Korver let go or did he quit the show ?

Here are some clips of the upcoming Price Is Right tell all. LOL at what Dian said to Bob.

🤣...........Cast and Crew who didn't invest wisely. I'm surprised Larry Wilcox patched things up with Estrada. Estrada had him fired in 1982 because he wanted the show to focus mainly on him. Wilcox saved Estrada's life in 1979 and that was his thanks in return. Supposedly Estrada also had Brianne Leary fired in 1979 because she was getting a lot of press as the female officer on the show.
