SPOTLIGHT CHARACTER
ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTSย "The Opportunity"ย ย Kate Devoreย 5/22/1962ย ย
ย ย ย Kate Devore is the wife of store manager Paul Devore, and the episode established that the couple'sย marriage was an unhappy one. It also established that Kate was the one responsible for getting Paul his current job, with Kate stating that he couldn't get one on his own, while it was also stated that she did so to keep a close eye on him.ย Despite their mutual antipathy towards each other,ย Kate refused to grant Paul a divorce, as she is unwilling to hand half of her fortune to him.
ย ย ย ย In the end of the episode, Kate returnedย home to find Paul tied up and the house burglarized, with Kate's safe robbed (by Paul, who set up the scenario, with some help fromย Lois Callen). She considered Paul lucky that the burglars didn't kill him, but instead of freeing Paul from his "capture," Kate turned heel and took the opportunity to kill Paul, doing so by smothering him with a pillow. The villainess committed the murder to avoid an expensive divorce, but as revealed in Hitchcock's closing narrative, the evil Kate ended up arrested for Paul's murder.

Evalyn Baronย -- 1979 New York Times Article
IN the years before she turned 5, Evalyn Baron flirted with many career ambitions: detective, reporter, foot doctor and elevator operator. โBut then,โ she said, โI decided on something stable.โ Acting.
And she has worked steadily ever since. From her beginnings as the lead angel in the kindergarten Christmas play at the E. Rivers Elementary School in her native Atlanta, Miss Baron has progressed through high school productions, community theater, the Northwestern University Department of Theater Arts, Chicago's Second City Company, summer stock, the Tyrone Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis, regional theater in New England and commercials and soap operas in New York, collecting an assortment of โbest actressโ awards along the way.
These days, you can find Miss Baron โ tall, brownโeyed, articulate and literate โ cavorting at the Village Gate in Greenwich Village with a duck and three of her Northwestern schoolmates in a lively and popular revue called โScrambled Feet.โ with myselfย inย high school,โ she said the other day. โI would pretend that I was really trying to work โ make a living, so that I would constantly try to go from one play to another, keeping consistently employed.โ
Inasmuch as football absorbed most of the money available for extracurrcular activities at North Fulton High School, Miss Baron โ the younger of two children of the late Paul H. Baron, an art restorer, and the former Sally Meyer, who worked with her husband โ found herself working a lot in community theater.
โI appeared as a maid in every play that was produced in Atlanta for four years. All through high school. Maids, maids, maids. Polish, French, English, Russian, American. And when I wasn't a maid I played musical walkโons โ a fishwife or a member of the chorus.โ
By the time she graduated in 1965, she had been in 20 or 25 plays, had been studying singing, dancing and acting for three or four years, could play the piano, had worked all over Atlanta as a folkโsinging guitarist for a group called the Clef Dwellers and had toured South and Central America and Europe, including the Soviet Union, with a choir group.
โOne of my acting teachers in high school was a Northwestern graduate. He had a big impressive ring. I thought: what a pretty ring. What college did he go to?โ
Next stop: Evanston, Ill., where Miss Baron met her colleaguesโtoโbe in โScrambled Feet,โ had the good fortune to be taken in hand by the legendary acting teacher Alvina Krause, hooked up with the Second City troupe, was a regular in Northwestern's WaaโMu show (a Midwestern version of the Princeton Triangle Club extravaganza), and spent her summers exercising her lyric soprano in leading roles in summer stock productions of shows like โFunny Girl,โ โMy Fair Ladyโ and โOklahoma.โ
โMostly,โ she said, โit was a struggle between my desire to be a really serious actress and being asked to be in things that were comedic and musical.โ
Offered Fellowship at the Guthrle
As her undergraduate years at Northwestern drew to a close, Miss Baron was offered a fellowship at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis. โ'Everyone assumed that I would go to New York and go into musical theater and just do what 1 already did,โ Miss Baron said. โInstead, I went to Minnesota, and it was the wisest choice I ever made.
โFirst of allโ she said, โI met my husband there.โ He is Paul Daniels, now the business manager of the Circle Repertory Theater. โSecond, it was the first time I had stopped to consider how much I did not know. I was surrounded by people who were brilliant and generous in sharing with me all they knew. I never knew, before Guthrie, what it took to make a good piece of literature come alive for an audience.โ
Miss Baron received her bachelor of
lbย science degree in theater arts from Northwestern in 1969 and received a master of fine arts degree in 1973 from the University of Minnesota as a result of her work with the Guthrie Theater. Then she and Mr. Daniels, who had been a fellow in design at the Guthrie, moved to Connecticut, where he had been offered a job with the Hartford Stage Company.
Using Hartford as her base, Miss Baron began performing at places like New Haven's Long Wharf Theater and Stage/West. โIt was then that agents from New York began seeing my work and asked me to come into the city to doโ โ Miss Baron paused to insert a fanfare โ'commercials.โ
โMy first national network commercial was for ProctorโSilex coffe pots. I had to say one word on camera. All those years of training and I had to say one word on camera. I think it was โdelicious'.
โAnd then I was playing Helena in โA Midsummer Night's Dreamโ at a theater in Michigan when someone screamed to me: โCome to the television. There you are.โ It was shocking. I didn't recognize myself.โ
Since then, Miss Baron has made commercials for such products as Pledge furniture polish, Viva paper towels and Swanson's Chicken. โMy opinion is that commercials in this country are big business's subsidy of the arts,โ she said.
Work in commercials induced Miss Baron to move in 1976 to New York's West Side, where she and Mr. Daniels still live. โThat's when 'scrambledย Feetโ started getting together.โ Miss Baron was reunited with her college friends โ John Driver, Jeffrey Haddow and Roger Neil.
โThe common bond,โ Miss Baron explained, โis insanity, and, I think, a deep regard for each other's talent. I never would have stuck with the project for three years if I didn't have a belief in it. I feel that John and Jeff are uniquely gifted writers of comedy, and Roger is one of the finest musicians I know.โ
Moving by fits and starts through showcases and outโofโtown productions, โScrambled Feetโ opened at the Village Gate on June 11.
โThe first thing that happened,โ Miss Baron said, โwas that opening night I got offered the part of a murderer on โEdge of Night.โ โ
The veteran maid of Atlanta'sย Comโ.ย munity theater promptly made her soapโopera debut as Louise Anderson, โa member of a terrorist group posing as a maid until I got a chance to murder the daughter of the household.โ
Miss Baron loved it. โIt gave me a chance to work on emotions like rage and hatred. I actually got to work on my own death. I got to die a bloody death. Bullet wounds in a sordid warehouse. I got to work on those parts of my emotional arsenal I never got a chance to work on.โ
As a result of 'scrambled Feet,โ other elements of television have expressed interest in Miss Baron, and some of Broadway's creative luminaries have had a chance to see her work for the first time.
โI'd like a couple of more years of substantial work in New York, work that would help me grow; substantial, Broadway, legitimate, live work,โ she said. โThen I would like to be able to do comedic or dramatic television and film work that would communicate what I want to say to a lot of people. I want to say that there are basic values in life and goodness, and that we're all here to, in some way, make it easier for others.โ
But right now, she said, โI'm where I want to be, and I'm excited about the future, too.โ
Evalyn Baron, who plays in โScrambled Feet':ย โI'mย where I want toย be andย I'm excited aboutย theย future too.โ

Slick's bits
Discovered Woody Allen in the Catskills and got him his first writing job on The Sid Caesar Show.
Played the French Horn in the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra.
Milt Kamen, the comedian and satirist, died Thursday, apparently of a heart attack, at his home in Beverly Hills, Calif. He was 55 years old.
Mr. Kamen, who often appeared on television panel and game shows and in nightclubs and dinner theaters, was known for his richly imaginative and somewhat lunatic view of life. A shrewd observer of the contemporary scene, he was noted for giving spontaneous and cheerfully irreverent reviews of films.
In praising Rex Harrison's acting with Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton in โCleopatra,โ he remarked, โHe was the only one who had time to learn his lines.โ
Long Walks in New York
The satirist got many of his original ideas from long walks in New York and from visiting museums and zoos. Passing an ape house, he once remarked of the original film version of โking Kongโ. โI was once in love with Fay Wray. I never knew what she saw in King Kong. The ape had no imagination. On their first date he took her to the Empire State Building like any other tourist. I knew nothing could come of the relationship.โ
Before his marriage in 1969, the comic drew much of his material from his long bachelorhood. โWho needs women,โ he once quipped, โI have absolutely no desire for themโexcept when I see one.โ
Known for one of the fastest ears in comedy, he broke up audiences with tales of his childhood in the rough and tumble Brownsville section of Brooklyn. In his formative years, he said, he would lie in a gutterโโIt was the only way I could, see the sky.โ
He portrayed himself as a man of the street, trying to become a man of the world, and failing. In his youth, he once told an interviewer, he failed as a petty thief and was picked up by the police 20 times.
Got a Juilliard Scholarship
Milt Kamen was born in Hurleyville, N.Y. and moved to Brooklyn at the age of 2. His salvation in adolescence was music. He played the French horn at Samuel Tilden High School and won a scholarship to the Juilliard School of Music.
While playing in the orchestra pit of โWhere's Charley?โ and watching the antics of Ray Bolger convulse audiences, he decided he wanted to be on the stage. Mr. Kamen then pawned the horn.
Mr. Kamen began developing his satirical acts. He appeared at the Purple Onion in San Francisco, worked on the old Sid Caesar television show and became increasingly popular, winning over audiences at scores of nightclubs, including New York's Blue Angel.
He also began appearing frequently on television, on game and quiz shows, the โTonightโ show and the โMery Griffin Show.โ In recent years he acted in plays in many dinner theaters.
Acted on the Stage
In 1961 Mr. Kamen was praised by Arthur Gelb of The New York Times for his portrayal of a garrulous waiter in an Off Broadway production of William Saroyan's โAcross the Board on Tomorrow Morning.โ
In New York he also acted in โA Thurber Carnival,โ Murray Schisgal's โThe Typistsโ and โThe Tiger,โ succeeding Eli Wallach in the Schisgal double bill, and in Paddy Chayefsky's โThe Passion of Josef D.โ
Mr. Kamen had recently completed writing a screenplay.
Surviving are his wife, the former Margot Bankoff; his father, Morris; two sisters, Dorothy Aronek and Pearl, and three brothers, Bill, Sol and Abe.

On deck tomorrow and Sunday:
Tony Geary, Yvette Nicole Brown, Christian Jules LeBlanc, Roma Downey, Harris Laskawy, Rachael Thompson, Jennifer Boles -- and more additional True Story updates!
The FB pagethat I also upload these to has gotten reponses from several Atlanta based under fives from BTG. Many are just "Thank you" but I'm glad they are aware that their contibution to the soaps is being acknowledged. Most recent: Nydell Nalls.
