"The Rose" and "Apocalypse Now" actor Frederic Forrest has passed, and I noticed today in his filmographies that one of his earliest roles was as a Blue Whale customer in 1967.  I saw ep #137 not long ago and will have to watch it again.  I had no idea!

If you have access to getTV, Diana Millay will appear in Sunday's 1963 episode of The Travels of Jaimie McPheeters called "The Day of the Skinners".  Times are 11:15 am ET and 8:15 am Pacific.

From Rotten Tomatoes: Jaimie befriends a girl (Millay) held as a servant by the leader of a group of buffalo skinners.
(Jaimie is played by a pre-teen Kurt Russell.  Mark Allen played a recurring character in the series.)

With thanks to Kosmo!

Murray Melvin, actor, director and theatre archivist, dies aged 90

His long TV career included The Avengers's debut episode (criminal), Torchwood (villain) and Midsomer Murders (victim), and his DS connection is his wonderfully creepy performance in Big Finish's "The Happier Dead" in 2014.

"The Young and the Restless" at 50: The drama continues

The CBS Sunday morning segment that aired today on the 50th anniversary of The Young and the Restless includes this cast photo from (I think) 1982

with Julianna McCarthy in the center.  IIRC, her character was mom to Snapper, Greg and Jill on Y&R and of course Willie's auntie on DS.

If I missed any other DS alums in the cast pictures shown in the segment, please do tell.

A Pedigreed Mansion with a Horror Movie History Hits the Market

The Vanderlip family mansion, known to DS fans as Beechwood, was also a filming location for the 1972 film Savages with Thayer David and Chris Pennock.

One unit-- the mansion was subdivided into 3 residences in 1979-- is for sale for only 2.4 mil.  [easter_wink]
