[ ----- ] This may be repeating info from the Compendium, which I don't own, but has anyone mentioned: 1) William Windom (Matt Decker) played James Thurber in a series called "My World and Welcome To It" 2) Frank Gorshen (Bele) as the Riddler in Batman?

I don't remember if this one has been said. ( I read every day but don't remember it all.) Has Leonard Nimoy's character Paris in Mission Impossible been mentioned a YAMA ( yet another more appearance). You g.d. Klingon Bastards!! -- Dave Carlson {allegra,seismo,decvax}!rochester!ur-valhalla!dave

interesting (at least I think it's interesting) trivia about some of the people. Elisha Cook's most famous movie was "The Maltese Falcon", with Humphrey Bogart, he played Wilmer, the gunsel. Kim Darby was the girl with "True Grit" wasn't she? (My memory may be playing tricks with me on this one). Mariette Hartley achieved her greatest fame in commercials with James Garner. Her first movie, "Ride the High Country" aka "Guns in the Afternoon", is a western that is fairly highly regarded by a lot of "students of film". (I'm not sure what to call them, I'll abbreviate to SOF's after this.) It was directed by Sam Peckinpah (may have been his first) and had as a theme the decline of the heroic days of the west. Jeffrey Hunter was in another movie that is highly regarded by many SOF's, "The Searchers", with John Wayne. I caught it on the tube once and confess that I could not see what the fuss was about. But some say it was director John Ford's best film by a long way. Robert Wise also directed "The Day the Earth Stood Still", a classic science fiction movie of the 50's. John Colicos was the main bad guy of the TV series "Battlestar Ponderosa".

Yes, Kim Darby was Mattie Ross in True Grit Mariette Hartley was also Lyra-ah (sp?) in GENESIS 2 (a Gene Roddenberry creation).

In the first scene of the episode where everybody gets old, a man is asked how old he is. He replies he is 29. He appeared in the Twilight Zone episodeI believe called "The Wager." It's about a man who bets that another man cannot not talk (how would you word it), for a whole year. The old man in Star Trek is one of the old men in the club on TZ. Incedentally, he looks just as old. -- ==> Ephrayim J. Naiman @ AT&T Information Systems Laboratories (201) 576-6259 Paths: [ihnp4, allegra, hogpc, maxvax, cbosgd, lzmi, ...]!pegasus!naiman

I just saw the Twilight Zone episode "People Are Alike All Over" (Roddy McDowall goes to Mars), and the Martian woman he meets is Susan Oliver, who plays the woman in "The Cage" (and therefore, in "The Menagerie"), whose name is Vina, I believe. There seems to be an incredible overlap between TZ and ST. Then again, there is a big overlap between TZ and the rest of the entertainment industry: just about everyone has done at least one TZ episode. -- Barry Margolin ARPA: barmar@MIT-Multics UUCP: ..!genrad!mit-eddie!barmar
