Orson Bean, 91, hit by car in
LA. Haven't seen him since
the 80's.

Hit by a car at 91? Now that's going out on a high note!

Conrad was so short he had lifts
inside his cowboy boots which
had 3" heels. This shot him up
to a 5' 9". In some scenes he
stood on a box, like Alan Ladd
did.

Extremely common in Hollywood. Check out De Niro’s shoes on the set of The Irishman.

Season 3
The third season (1963-1964) began on September 21, 1963. For the third season in a row, the network opened its Saturday night movie series with a Marilyn Monroe-starring film, 1955's The Seven Year Itch. By this time, NBC had added a second movie night, Monday, to its prime-time schedule. A new package of films were acquired at a cost of $14 million to the network consisting of 42 titles from 20th Century Fox, as well as 35 post 1950 films from MGM to fill both nights. For the most part, heavy dramatic films, such as The Diary of Anne Frank (1959 film) were chosen for season three of Saturday Night At The Movies, while lighter fare, such as comedies and musicals were reserved for the new Monday Night series.

I remember the movie of the week being big even in the 70s. Biggest problem was they jammed the commercials. Who remembers how they had a "bump" after the commercials saying "Back to the show" usually with cuts of a movie camera and things. They would run like 4-5 commercials and you thought you were done because they showed the bump, but that was a "warning bump" saying they would be back "soon" and you had 1 more commercial to deal with.

I always liked Hogan's Heroes. A few years ago I re-watched the whole series.
At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent.
