Spotted: KL Actors in Other Roles

[TaranofPrydain]

Good show with a lot of heart. Keep tuned in and you will see the Master of Birds (Tippi Hedren) and the Queen of the Principal (Secret,,,). Probably my favorite non-Dallas appearance of hers...

Yes, it is a good show. I remember it from when it first ran, but it's been great catching up with it after all these years. I did see Victoria Principal's three episode arc, and I loved that she got to do her own version on Mrs. Robinson. She definitely stole the show. In addition to airing on TV, somebody has been adding the show's episodes you know where. (In English only, but that is to be expected) Whoever has been uploading them only has about 6 or 7 episodes yet to put up... And I include a link to VP's first scene:

 

[Holly46]

Joan Van Ark and Howard Duff appeared together in an episode of The Rockford Files.

 

[Toni]

Just saw Michele Lee in a terrible TVM called "Fatal Image", and Julie Harris in "The Split", playing kind of a Big Bad Mama with a big red wig. The movie is worth watching, there is also Donald Sutherland, Diahann "Dynasty" Carroll and Ernest Borgnine. And ends with a cliffhanger...!!

 

[TaranofPrydain]

I've been working my way through some David E. Kelley shows recently, and Ted Shackleford turned up as a plastic surgeon successfully sued by the widow of a patient who died in a season 4 episode of The Practice, and Maree Cheatham (Loretta Robeson) turned up as a grieving widow in a season 3 episode of Boston Legal.

 

[Seaviewer]

I've mentioned a 1959 TV remake of Miracle On 34th Street in the Last Film Watched thread.
Of interest here is the fact that it in the version available on YouTube it is periodically interrupted by live commercials for Westclox presented by Betsy Palmer.

 

[Seaviewer]

In the episode of The Paper Chase titled "Nancy", Allan Miller (Scooter Warren) appears as the mob-connected father of the eponymous Nancy, a student at the law school.

Allan Miller returns in the third season episode"Pressure" as the father of a different student, as well as potential love interest for Lainie Kazan's mature-age student Rose.

 

[Carrie Fairchild]

I hope it's as much fun as the one episode of Nip/Tuck with Donna Mills, Joan Van Ark, Deborah Shelton and Shari Belafonte.

Apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere but does anyone know if Michele Lee was approached to complete the Knots trifecta for this guest spot?

 

[Seaviewer]

Another episode of The Paper Chase ,titled "The Big D", has Herb Edelman as Rose's soon-to-be-ex-husband.
On Knots, Edelman was the detective investigating Danny's death, but here he's like a dramatic version of Stan from The Golden Girls.
The Big D is divorce.

 

[Daniel Avery]

Not an actor, but more than just a crew member....

I just saw Nick Schillace on a Match Game rerun from 1980-ish. No, not Lorenzo Caccialanza....the "real" Nick Schillace, a make-up artist who was so beloved by the Knots cast and crew that they named an onscreen character after him. He was apparently working his way up at CBS at the time of this game show episode, stepping on set to powder Charles Nelson-Reilly's nose (and making a mess). In real life, Schillace is married to Lauren Koslow of Days of Our Lives.

 

[bmasters9]

Ted Shackelford and Joan Van Ark in Wonder Woman, third-and-final-season episode "Time Bomb" (OAD Friday, November 10, 1978 on CBS)...

 

[Seaviewer]

I've been watching a show called Fairly Legal on one of our local catchup services. Clyde Kusatsu appeared in an episode I watched the other night. It was made in 2011 so he would have been about 63 and according to IMDb is still going strong.

 

[Daniel Avery]

With a fabulously soapy name like "Rocket," it's little wonder Donna Mills made a splash on the normally staid, claustrophobic The Secret Storm. There is very little of this soap (and her tenure) out there, so I was surprised to see this pop up on my feed:

 

[Seaviewer]

Donna's 1991 miniseries False Arrest is available on Tubi. I didn't think I'd seen it before but as I watched it started to seem familiar.

 

[Daniel Avery]

In 1983, the NBC soap Search for Tomorrow featured several familiar faces, but for the purposes of this thread, I point out Maree Cheatham (KL's Mary/Loretta Robeson) and Michelle Phillips (KL's Anne Matheson). Cheatham played the town bitch Stephanie Wyatt on SFT for many years, whereas Phillips assumed the short-term role of Ruby Ashford, after the role was turned down by Cher (!!).

 

[Seaviewer]

Cheatham also has a recurring role on Hart of Dixie, which I've been streaming lately. Another bitchy mother role.

 

[Taylor Bennett Jr.]

little Olivia was just absurdly adorable in an early 1980 episode of Chips, even bringing out the fatherly instincts of hardened womanizer Ponch
