@DRW50  When I was checking the AWHP last night, I noticed that Mike added the information from 1994 that you posted here. I forwarded it to him a few weeks ago, and last night was the first time I looked through the Dayplayers  in a while. Just wanted to pass that along.

That site is so thorough I didn't even realize they would not have the info already. Thanks so much for telling me. If I ever feel like it I will have to dig through more of my magazines and scans to see if I have any other listings not already out there.

[slick jones]

About 8 years ago I sent Eddie all the characters/actors that I had that they didn't. (Most of them had no dates, and as videos have popped up, they have been dated). He had Mike add them in, but as  they received a ton of the 1964-74 scripts, Mike has really had his work cut out for him. As thorough as it is, they still continue to keep adding more. In the past six months, he had found roles for Larry Keith and Bernie Barrow that had been rumored about for years. Another big find for Mike was the late Lanna Saunders as a temp Lee Randolph--complete with on set photos from their table reads and dress rehearsals.   Sometimes he messages me for help, and Jane (Jam) has uncovered things for him.

Anyhoo, enough rambling from me--they appreciate any heads up that improves their site, so thank you.

Messages from Mike McGavin

Maybe she played Sylvia Dowling a juror during Pat's trial who had lines of dialogue during jury deliberations. Otherwise, her role may have been a jury spectator or recurring extra

Does he know the actor who played Pete [later Fred] Douglas for one episode in October 1965? Can't find that.
