September 1966 TV Picture Life

May 18 was Ann Williams' birthday, and Jim Pritchett and others of the cast didn't forget to phone her and wish her well. She's moved into a new apartment right on Central Park, so she can take her daughter out for fresh air daily.

Jim Pritchett took his wife Cynthia to England for a two-week "vacation" in June. He appeared with the play, "Phaedre," in London and Devenshire, during the two weeks.

"Did Liz Hubbard of The Doctors ever play parts in the movies under the name of Lucille Nomran?" asks Mrs. G. Smith of Warren, Ohio. Elizabeth tells us she's never been in the movies.

"You never write about James Pritchett," accuses Paula Brooks, Greenville, S.C. Answer: see story on Jim (and Liz Hubbard) in upcoming issue...

I remember watching the hearings in the summer of 1973. I was getting ready to start high school and had started being interested in politics. It was pretty interesting at the time. If I'm recalling correctly, the networks started taking turns in airing the hearings so the programs weren't pre-empted on every channel, every day.

In the 60s, I remember the soaps being pre-empted for the return of various space capsules. I used to get mad because you really couldn't see much. It didn't seem worth it to interrupt the soaps, lol. I wasn't old enough to appreciate I was witnessing history (except for the moon landing, of course, which happened at night). The cameras couldn't get close and you could only see a little blip splashing in the ocean.

I've often read that during the Watergate hearings, a lot of the soaps that DID air & weren't preempted often aired in a deliberately abbreviated form. I have to wonder if this is similar to how ABC handled the soaps in 1984 during the Olympics when GH, OLTL, & AMC continued to air (Edge, Loving, & RH were completely preempted) in a 20 minute (I *think*) format for those 2 weeks or so.

Just when you think you can feel sorry for Karen, once again The Kooky Kraut does something that reminds you why you hate her! The storyline with Mrs. Anderson proves a point first explored by Agnes Nixon: the average 1960s housewife knew little about her own health and only visited the doctor when her period stopped for either pregnancy or menopause. Mrs. Anderson was the type to do everything for her husband, not even thinking of her own welfare. When Agnes Nixon did the now-legendary uterine cancer storyline on GL with Bert Bauer in 1962, a lot of women heard about the Pap test for the first time, saving lives. With the Anderson story, Rita Lakin is also addressing the state of women's health issues from that era.

Variety April 3rd 1968 mentions Conrad Roberts.

His part In the Colgate soap, that of a medico back from the wars, incepted last week. As Roberts noted, his is the first three-dimensional black characterization featured on the serial

Some cast lists have Roberts playing Dr Simon Roberts while others including IMDB have Mel Winkler in that part.

In addition to P Jay Sidney,Clarissa Gaylor will play Mrs Stark.
