  • Don Murray Unsung Hero
    DON MURRAY UNSUNG HERO Donald Patrick Murray was born in Hollywood in 1929 to a 20th-Century Fox dance director and a former Ziegfeld girl. He moved to New York when he was three years old and became an exceptional student-athlete at East Rockaway High School in Nassau County. Don played football and ran track, where he earned the nickname “Don Deer.” After graduation in 1947, Don declined several scholarship opportunities at universities in favor of enrolling in the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. (To this day, Don retains a slight “Long Island” accent, but his three years at AADA helped him effectively shed this at will, and he easily mastered a series of speech patterns in his subsequent acting roles.) When the Korean War broke out, Don filed for “conscientious objector” status, and spent two years in alternative service at refugee camps in Germany and Italy. (Don would later star in a self-penned screenplay for Playhouse 90 entitled For I Have Loved Strangers based on these experiences.) Before his European adventures, however, Don had turned heads in his first substantial part in the Broadway production of Tennessee Williams’ The Rose Tattoo. He also made strides on early television, appearing on several highly-regarded programs, including The Kraft Theater and the psychological mystery series Danger. Don then landed a role in the Broadway revival of Thornton Wilder’s The Skin of Our Teeth, playing Henry Antrobus, a character who demonstrated a pronounced change in temperament. (During the play’s celebrated first run in 1942-43, Henry was played by Montgomery Clift.) Don’s performance caught the eye of theatre and film director Joshua Logan, who quickly decided that Don was the perfect choice to play the raw, reckless Beauregard “Bo” Decker in his film version of William Inge’s hit play, Bus Stop.

  • George Takei on "Star Trek" by John C
    Sulu Speaks : George Takei on "Star Trek" By John C. Tibbetts TIBBETTS INTRODUCTION TO THE INTERVIEW: The second filmin the "Star Trek" series, Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan, is now playing to packed theaters across the nation. The first film, guided by Gene Roddenberry and Robert Wise, was a thoughtfulexcursion into some of the philosophical implications of the original television series. The second film,according to George Takei, is "high adventure" all the way. Shooting began on Stage 9 at Paramount on November 9, 1981; principal photography concluded on January 29, 1982. It was directed by Nicholas (Time After Time) Meyer, scripted by Jack B. Sowards from a story by Harve Bennett and Jack Sowards, and produced by Harve Bennett and Robert Sallin. Needless to say, Mr. George Takei is delighted at the continuing success story of the "Star Trek" franchise.. George is a multitalented performer who, long before he donned the uniform and personna of "Sulu," had demonstrated a flair for the theatre. His first professional job in film entertainment was as a voice dubber forthe classic Japanese science fiction film,Rodan (1957). He appeared before the movie cameras for the first time while a student at UCLA. The film was Ice Palace (1960) with Richard Burton, Robert Ryan and Carolyn Jones. He also debuted on television for an episode of Playhouse 90 at this, same time. Then came many guest shots on other television series, including Hawaiian Eye, Maverick, 77 Sunset Strip, and Adventures in Paradise. The role of "Sulu," the helmsman for the U S. S.

  • A Historical/Critical Analysis of the Tv Series the Fugitive
    A HISTORICAL/CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE TV SERIES THE FUGITIVE THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the University of North Texas in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE By David P. Pierson, B.S. Denton, Texas May, 1993 Pierson, David P., A Historical/Critical Analysis Of The TV Series The Fugitive. Master of Science (Radio/TV/Film), May 1993, 168 pp., bibliography, 70 titles. In many respects, the popular 1960's television series, The Fugitive perfectly captured the swelling disillusionment with authority, alienation, and discontent that soon encompassed American society. This historical/critical study provides a broad overview of the economic, social, and political climate that surrounded the creation of The Fugitive. The primary focus of this study is the analysis of five discursive topics (individualism, marriage, justice & authority, professionalism, science and technology) within selected episodes and to show how they relate to broader cultural debates which occurred at that time. Finally, this study argues that The Fui1gitive is a part of a television adventure subgenre which we may classify as the contemporary "wanderer-hero" narrative and traces its evolution through selected television series from the last three decades.

  • The History of CBS Hollywood Television Studios
    1 The History of CBS Hollywood Television Studios By Bobby Ellerbee and Eyes Of A Generation.com Preface and Acknowledgement This is a unique look at the events that preceded the need for CBS television studios in Hollywood and, as in New York, the radio division is leading the way. This project is somewhat different than the prior reports on the New York studios of CBS and NBC, for two reasons. The first reason is that in that in those reports, television was brand new and being developed through the mechanical function to an electronic phenomenon. Most of that work occurred in and around their headquarters in New York. In this case, both CBS and NBC are at the mercy of geological and technological developments outside their own abilities…namely the Rocky Mountains and AT&T. The second reason has to do with the success of the network’s own stars. Their popularity on radio soon translated to public demand once “talking pictures” became possible. That led many New York based radio stars to Hollywood and, in a way, Mohammed had to come to the mountain. This story is told to the best of our abilities, as a great deal of the information on these facilities is now gone…like so many of the men and women who worked there. I’ve told this as concisely as possible, but some elements are dependent on the memories of those who were there many years ago, and from conclusions drawn from research. If you can add to this with facts or photos, please contact me as this is an ongoing project.

  • Mike Connors
    Pioneers of Television Mike Connors Mike Connors is best known for playing the title role in “Mannix,” a crime drama that revived the genre in 1967. Produced by Bruce Geller, “Mannix” lasted eight years, thanks to tight editing, lots of action and, of course, Mike Connors. Geller and Connors had to fight CBS to get Gail Fisher cast as Connors co-star on “Mannix.” As Peggy Fair, Fisher became the first African-American woman to earn an Emmy. Connors did guest shots on a wide range of iconic series, including “e Untouchables,” “Maverick,” “Gunsmoke” and “Perry Mason.” In fact, when Raymond Burr wanted a pay raise on “Perry Mason,” the producers asked Connors to take over the role. at was enough to convince Burr to back down. In 1982, Connors returned to series work as the star of “Today’s FBI.” But Mannix is his signature — a role he played in 194 episodes. Or 195, if you count Joe Mannix’ return in an episode of “Diagnosis Murder,” which aired exactly 30 years aer Connors first played Joe Mannix. So we went into CBS and argued with them and they finally said we could cast her (Gail Fisher). But they said if we get any mail om the south saying they resent a black girl being on the show, then we’d have to fire her immediately.
