Elizabeth Montgomery:

Constant supporting actress and guest star work in the '50s and early '60s.

Bewitched -- She deserved the Emmy for her work in the first season. There's lots of hidden (screen) gems, like Samantha's understanding and empathy for human behavior. I'm thinking specifically of the episode where Darrin's dad has a midlife crisis.

Password player extraordinare.

Queen of the TV movies for the rest of her life.

Suzanne Somers, to go from Three's Company, then the Flop "She's the Sheriff" not sure about others

Finally got a hit again with "Step By Step"

I LOVED How The West Was Won, with Arness and Bruce Boxleitner and Fionnula Flannigan. It had started off as a mini-series (or a two part tv movie with Eva Marie Saint as James' sister-in-law) and then followed him as he took the family west to escape the Civil Warl

"How the West Was Won" was a massive, massive success here, of the kind you don't see now. And it has been re-run on several occasions. It was first a tv-movie with Richard Kiley as James Arness' brother Tim who died and, as you said, Eva Marie Saint as Kiley's wife Kate. Then came a mini-series where for some reason the two sons (played by Bruce Boxleitner and William Kirby Cullen) had changed names from Seth and Jed to Luke and Josh. This was followed by a regular series, without Eva Marie Saint but adding Fionnula Flanagan as her sister Molly Culhane.
