He's dead Jim

Leonard Nimoy has passed. Everyone is talking about his work on Star Trek as they should but I always enjoyed him on Mission Impossible.

Maybe because he got to bang the lucious Lesly Ann Warren in all of her teenage glory.

Rest in Peace Paris.

He was such a more talented and engaging guy than people know. The best part about Lem's post is it opened to a link of an Emmy interview retrospective where he got to talk about other accomplishments and memories, like his directorial debut on this series called Night Gallery, and a really cool episode about a lady vampire played by Warren. Amazing the way they could pack so much story into such limited airtime back then. The medium has changed and he was one of the few people decent/human and intelligent enough to make some really worthwhile impacts with it. This was in the days before money and looks became everything and confused us all as to what is really meaningful art. He knew.

Life is short and making the most of it can be challenging. He didn't waste time.

Night Gallery was a great show. They are rerunning it on MeTV. The original Kolchak the Night-stalker was an half hour segment.

Generally there were many great half hour dramas that were very enjoyable in the 1960's. Have Gun Will Travel. Branded. Night Gallery. The Rifleman. Lawman. The Rebel. East Side West Side.

They were just more talented then the hacks we have working today.

Wow, Leslie Ann Warren. Even in Victor/Victoria, where she played a complete ditz, she was sexy as hell.

I liked Lesley Ann Warren best in "Choose Me."

I think you're mistaken about Kolchak being on the "Night Gallery" first, Troop. Gary Collins' equally short-lived series "The Sixth Sense" wasn't actually part of the "Night Gallery" run but it was syndicated with the "Night Gallery" as though it were, so perhaps that's what you're thinking of.

I was always disappointed as a kid when it turned out to be Lesley Ann Warren and not Lesley Ann Down.

When blake says he knows the pose, he knows the pose.

I'm also a Lesley Ann Down fan. Georgina Worsley stole my heart.
