    My late Auntie Gloria was a film/TV actress and worked w/ George Dolenz on an episode of the Western television series "The Restless Gun". (As a sidebar, she had a stint as a child actress, w/ occasional bit-part roles, but she survived all of that @ least. And since you included a clip of Johnny Carson, she also had a guest-spot on his variety program, this being several yrs prior to "The Tonight Show".) I personally encountered Ted Knight in-person on what happened to be on the very evening his own TV special aired.

    Yet another wonderful program. Thank you. Question, you go from home to the cemetery and then drive home after filming? I'm doing to trip hopefully to the Hudson Valley and was thinking of staying over. It's 98 miles each way and there are a couple of cemeteries I want to visit. There are many in the area but I doubt I'd be able to do them all in one visit. Thank you for your insight.

    Its funny you mentioned Liberace I just watched his biography with Scott Michaels yesterday, and he was my moms favorite. Did you ever do graves of child actors that passed away by their own hand Rusty Hamner, the only thing I know about him is he shot himself in the head when he was 40 years old I also know he had a hard time adjusting to life after THE DANNY THOMAS SHOW. What a shame I would've loved to have been his friend. I know Shirley Temple made it after being a child actor she got work with the white house. Rusty could have done something like her not just the white house but something.
