Grayson Hall - "The Girl from UNCLE" 1967
« on: January 18, 2010, 05:09:16 AM »
Fans,

Tonight I just discovered that Grayson Hall's entire Girl from UNCLE episode, "The High and Deadly Affair," is available for viewing (in 5 parts, I believe) on YouTube.  Here's the link for part 1 (and Grayson is in the very first scene):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_j9jjQlkBlQ

She's wearing a labcoat and it almosts looks like a screen test for her work as a certain "good Doctor."

Unfortunately, although Grayson is on camera for nearly the entire episode, she doesn't get to do very much, and unlike her turn on the Man from UNCLE, her agent was unable to garner her any guest star billing in this show.

Still, it is a wonderful treat for those of us who just can't get enough of our beloved "gutsy broad'!

Best,

G.

This is the only one of Grayson's UNCLE eps that I've ever seen - and the only time I ever saw it was when it was shown in local syndication back in the early '70s. The only thing I really remember is Grayson on a plane and somehow the plot involves birds. Not much. So, I'll definitely have to check this out on YouTube!

Thanks so much for finding it and sharing the link.  [snow_smiley]

Though she does get "Also Starring," with her name bigger than any of the other actors that follow. That isn't exactly small potatoes.  [snow_wink]

I like how she delivers her line after searching the little girl aboard the airplane.

You definitely get the sense she is the "good doctor's" arm candy/girl friend which is not a role she was afforded in Hollywood. NY on the other hand--Grayson was always the sexually dangerous woman on stage.

@MB:  I'm so sorry to learn you've never seen Grayson's MFU episode.  That, to my mind, is one of the sharpest performances from her ever captured on film--and more redolent of GH's NY stage persona, too.

@Julia99:  Oh yeah!  I wish we could find publicity photos from that play, was it called the Love Nest in 1963, in which she played a lady named Crystal (Seekfest?) who was described as sexually provocative in silk pajamas or some such... I am sure she was sultry and purring in that one!

Yes, Grayson Hall IS my religion...
