... I'd hate ...If these are the best jokes ...<br /> ... I'd hate to read the bad ones ...<br /><br />Since I'm here, and I have no real reason to put this up, I will anyway:<br /><br />This past weekend, I read of the passing of a TV actress named Rosanna Huffman.<br />Never heard of her?<br />Rosanna Huffman didn't break out of the "supporting" category, but she had a good life anyway.<br />From 1969, until his passing in 1987, she was the wife of Richard Levinson, of the team of Levinson and Link.<br />If you check her credits at IMDb, you'll find that many of her roles were in shows written or produced by her husband and his partner.<br />Not all of them; Rosanna Huffman was a good working actress, who worked when she wanted to.<br /><br />I looked up one of her shows, an early episode of <i>Murder She Wrote</i>.<br />It's the 16th episode of the first season, "Tough Guys Don't Die", written by Peter S. Fischer; it marked the debut of Harry McGraw, Jerry Orbach's recurring private eye character.<br />The story is about Harry's PI partner getting murdered, and Harry and Jessica join forces to crack the case.<br />Rosanna Huffman plays the partner's widow; small part, but she does well by it.<br />Also appearing: the partner's secretary, played by Margery Nelson - off-camera, Mrs. William Link.<br />The wives don't have any scenes together, but from what I've read, the two families were quite close all their lives (the Links are both still around, by the way).<br /><br />Just thought I'd mention it ...Mike Dorannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042603612494762084.post-31451748846975410812016-06-01T01:32:47.593-04:002016-06-01T01:32:47.593-04:00I always thought that Minnesotans had more disdain...I always thought that Minnesotans had more disdain for Wisconsin than for Iowa!Alex Isabelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042603612494762084.post-27318691708543879542016-05-31T22:32:44.666-04:002016-05-31T22:32:44.666-04:00I wonder how many CBS affiliates in Iowa had color...I wonder how many CBS affiliates in Iowa had color capacity (the network was still running occasional color broadcasts until Bill Paley banned them in early 1960).
