The long-awaited (?) answers to my quiz of some time back...
1. The three principal chars in the show were
Napoleon Solo - Robert Vaughn (he has the Ph.D.)
Illya Kuryakin (I got many spellings - I think this is right)
- David McCallum
Alexander Waverley - Leo G. Carroll
2. U.N.C.L.E. was an acronym for >> United Network Command for
Law and Enforcement <<
3. The enemy was T.H.R.U.S.H., an acronym for >> Technological
Hierarchy for the Removal of Humans and the Subjugation
of Humanity <<
4. Now the good stuff...
Leo G. Carroll starred in a great old series called Topper.
The characters in this one were:
Cosmo Topper - Leo G. Carroll
Henrietta Topper - Emmaline Henry (I think)
George Kerby - Robert Sterling ) played a family of ghosts
Marion Kerby - Ann Jeffries ) who, if memory serves, were
Neal - their St. Bernard ) killed in an avalanche on a
skiing honeymoon
A real classic. Is it showing anywhere?
5. The spinoff series was "The Girl from U.N.C.L.E.". Its stars were
April Dancer - Stephanie Powers
Mark Slade - Noel Harrison
We all know (and love?) Stephanie Powers as Ms. Hart, but Noel
Harrison is more interesting. He did a very good half-hour weekly
folk music show on CBC-TV around 1970-71 from Nova Scotia, I believe.
To my knowledge he lives there still, and does some acting and singing
in regional theatres. If anyone can update on his activites I'd
appreciate it.
For those oldies that never die, ...
