Okay, no, so anyway, I'm watching a Route 66 second season episode called The Opponent, which is about a washed-up boxer (Darren McGavin), his trainer (Ed Asner with hair), and his girlfriend, right? And I recognize the girlfriend right off, but I can't place her name. So I run back through the credits, and I find "Lois Nettleton," which I don't snap to right away. And I Google her name and come up with a few pictures. So I run it through the IMDb and see that she passed away just last January (which I obviously missed), and that she appeared in a whole bunch of Sixties TV shows like The Twilight Zone, Naked City, The Alfred Hitchcock Hour, The Fugitive, Bonanza, Gunsmoke, and The F.B.I. And I'm sorry I somehow missed her passing. Her birthday was August 6th, and I missed that, too. But here she is, and she's certainly not forgotten.
Always loved Lois. Underrated actress. She should have been more famous than she was.
ReplyDeleteI was just reading a story about Dolores Hart (now a nun). They starred in an Elvis Presley movie together and were still friends right up until Lois' death.
Where'd ya read it? What're ya reading?
ReplyDeletec.parker, I read it on www.deacbench.blogspot.com. I don't know how to link (sorry). Just scroll down the page until you come to the post called "The nun who kissed Elvis."
