Pearlee, I was just thinking today of Jim Hutton when I read about the death of Yvette Mimieux, since he was the first cast member from WTBA to pass away, at least I think he was.

Thank goodness she hasn't passed away, scared me.  But anyway, I've always liked her too. Neil Simon, the comedy author, did a  Plaza_Suite with her in it.  She was a mom of the bride who'd locked herself in the hotel rooms bathroom.  Walter Mattheu  (sp?) was in it too.  I laughed so hard at that.

 

Once read how she use to have horrible migraine headaches.  Can't imagine making the show go on and having a migraine .

 

I remember her part where she was yelling, "Damian, Damian"  now what was that show? Omen II

 

She was a wife in one of the older space shows too. Movie...was trying to think of the man's name who she was the wife of.  He once was in THE REAL McCoy's.  Geez, remember that one?Walter Brennan was in that one.

Cripes,  I never connected those 2 names before.

I recently watched, rewatched, the Columbo episode where Lee Grant played that evil attorney. She was terrific. That scene where she and Columbo were in the small plane was superb. By the way, I've often wondered why she took the name of the two Civil War generals.

@DottieBlue  Oh yes, that's him, thank you. I drew a blank on his name.

Coupla things Richard Crenna was in Our Miss Brooks and was Walter Denton.

He was in one episode of I Love Lucy.

I've always thought she was so pretty@! She was really good in this movie, I believe from the early 90's called Its My Party-so good, and very sad. I also remember her from The Omen! As well as Airport 77 amd Shampoo of course, and many more!!!!
