Run for Your Life (1965)
Grace Lee Whitney Just Prior to Star Trek
Grace Lee Whitney appeared briefly in the 1965 TV series "Run for Your Life," the story of the terminally ill Paul Bryan (Ben Gazarra). The fourth episode of the series is titled "Never Pick Up a Stranger" and begins in a small town on a Sunday morning. Whitney plays the character Millie, a fast-talking diner waitress, who serves a cup of coffee. The story revolves around Bryan's encounter with a runaway Kathy (Brenda Scott) and his decisions after returning her to that small town. Barry Sullivan portrays the hardass local sheriff, who is aggressive in his attempts to get Bryan back on the road. Grace makes another appearance in the middle of when the sheriff arrives to present Bryan with a warrant for his arrest. There are several twists until we find out why the Sheriff is after our innocent hero. Grace was on the cusp of joining the cast of "Star Trek" and would film several of the first few episodes but be written off the show before the first installment aired. This part is a perfect example of her underutilization as an actor despite a decade of dues being paid in good performances on a range of shows.
The Lieutenant: Between Music and Laughter (1964)
Patricia Crowley Steals The Show on the One
I recently caught Patricia Crowley in an episode of Cain's Hundred and now have seen her in this episode of "The Lieutenant." What a talented and beautiful actress she was in her heyday. Perhaps her wholesomeness limited the types of roles she could get. But out of the countless female actors that bounced across TV screens in the late 50s and early 60s, she was in the elite group. If you can locate this show, you will find a bevy of beauties portraying the various girlfriends, wives, and other characters in the world of the US Marines but few have the well-rounded realness of Path. On PlutoTV, you can catch her on Wanted Dead or Alive in Season 1, Episode 22 and she is a vision as Helen Martin, the owner of a restaurant in the town. Besides her beauty, she is an intriguing woman on several levels.
