Trivia: Red-headed, freckle-faced Martin Milner was only 15 when he made his screen debut in Life With Father (1947), and would continue to play wide-eyed high schoolers and college kids well into the next decade. His early film assignments included the teenaged Marine recruit in Lewis Milestone's The Halls of Montezuma (1951) and the obnoxious suitor of Jeanne Crain in Belles on Their Toes (1952). His first regular TV series was The Stu Erwin Show (1950-1955), in which he played the boyfriend (and later husband) of Stu's daughter Joyce. More mature roles came his way in Marjorie Morningstar (1957) as Natalie Wood's playwright sweetheart and in The Sweet Smell of Success (1957) as the jazz musician targeted for persecution by Winchell-esque columnist Burt Lancaster. Beginning in 1960, he enjoyed a four-year run as Corvette-driving Tod Stiles on TV's Route 66 (a statue of Milner and his co-star George Maharis currently stands at the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, KY). A longtime friend and associate of producer/director/actor Jack Webb, Milner was cast as veteran L.A.P.D. patrolman Pete Malloy on the Webb-produced TV weekly Adam-12, which ran from 1968 to 1975. His later TV work included a short-lived 1970s series based on Johan Wyss' Swiss Family Robinson. Later employed as a California radio personality, Martin Milner continued to make occasional TV guest appearances; one of these was in the 1989 TV movie Nashville Beat, in which he was reunited with his Adam-12 co-star Kent McCord. He made an appearance on the short-lived series The New Adam-12 and had recurring roles on shows like Life Goes On and Murder, She Wrote. Milner died in 2015, at age 83.

Trivia: Supporting actor Kent McCord is best known for co-starring in the long-running series Adam-12 (1968-1975). McCord made his film debut in the made-for-television movie The Outsider (1967). Following the demise of Adam-12, McCord continued appearing in TV films and in low-budget features such as Unsub (1985) and Return of the Living Dead 3 (1993).

Trivia: Peaches-and-cream blonde actress Leslie Parrish entered films in 1955, appearing under her own name, Marjorie Hellen, until 1959. Leslie's two best film roles relied on equal parts acting ability and dazzling beauty: hillbilly heroine Daisy Mae in Li'l Abner (1959), and unwitting political pawn Jocie Jordan in The Manchurian Candidate (1962). Gradually easing out of acting in the 1970s, Leslie kept apace of show business as a production assistant. Leslie Parrish is married to Jonathan Livingston Seagull-author Richard Bach, who "immortalized" his wife by writing her into two of his novels as a character.

Trivia: The bulk of American leading man Mark Miller's work has been seen on television. Miller co-starred with Joanne Dru in the one-season sitcom Guestward Ho (1960), and five years later enjoyed a two-season run as the husband of Patricia Crowley on Please Don't Eat the Daisies (1965). He was a regular on two soap operas, General Hospital (as Randy Washburn) and Bright Promise, and a semi-regular on the nighttimer Name of the Game (1969-71), as reporter Ross Craig. In films, Miller served as producer/writer/star of the 1982 family picture Savannah Smiles, based on his novel of the same name. More recently, he co-wrote the screenplay for director Alfonso Arau's A Walk in the Clouds (1995). Mark Miller is the father of actress Penelope Ann Miller.

Trivia: Character actor Sammy Jackson specialized in playing Southern hayseeds and was best known for playing Airman Will Stockdale in the television version of No Time for Sergeants (1964-1965). Prior to that, he had played a small role in the 1956 film version that made Andy Griffith a star. His other film credits include Night of the Grizzly (1966), Norwood (1970), The Boatniks (1970), and Another Stakeout (1993). He also guest starred on several television shows and appeared occasionally in miniseries and made-for-TV films.
