Love Is a Many Splendored Thing

[amybrickwallace]

Are there any vintage soap magazines that have interviews with Paul Michael Glaser (who was on both this show and on LOL) in his pre-Starsky days?

Bibi Besch in her LIAMST days.

I tell you it's a crime we have everything from that period of time EXCEPT actual, full-length episodes of the show.

[DRW50]

Tell me about it...

[amybrickwallace]

I'd definitely watch it, if only to see a very young Leslie Charleson in her pre-Dr. Monica days.

Ms. Balance was one of the two performers that I know (the other being Jane Manning) who returned to the show for the last episode.

I can find (on IMDb) no mention of any other television or movie roles for her (contrary to the last sentence). Nor can I find any mention of her husband. I will keep looking for something written about their roles in The Owl and the Pussycat.

The actor who played her husband on the show (Joseph Stern) later became a television producer. One of the shows on which he worked was Law and Order.

[amybrickwallace]

Yeah, he worked steadily as an actor on Broadway as well before moving behind the scenes.

Not often you see LIAMST get a cover.Don't think this has been posted before...

TV Yearbook circa early 1969.

Caroline Miner (Lily) was the Granddaughter of Frances Fuller(LOL). She did a couple of scenes on LOL before she arrived on LIAMST

[danfling]

Slick, can you (or anyone) tell me who Lily was?

That show must have liked the name Lily because there was later a major character named Lily Chernak.

Was Lily the daughter of Spence Garrison and Nancy Garrison? I had been thinking for years that her name had been Sarah, but maybe I am wrong.

[slick jones]

I'm going to check my "stacks" a little later...I'll see what I find...

Spencer's daughter was probably not introduced prior to the introduction of Nancy, but that may not be true.

I wonder how much longer it would be before Kim Hale and Andy Hurley would be introduced?

There was an actor who played Spencer prior to Ed Power. He was not listed in this cast list. (He obviously had already been replaced.) Sp had Chandler #1.

Also, at some point, soap opera pioneer actress Flora Campbell was written in as Margaret Garrison, ex-wife of Chandler and mother of Spencer.

It seemed to me that Love Is a Many Splendored Thing was frequently introducing new families to join the Donnelly family (after somewhat eliminating the Elliott family). There was the Hale family, the Garrison family, and the Chernak family.
