Trivia: Sandra Harrison was an ingenue of the late 1950s who worked in films and television. Her first major screen appearance (in which she was credited as Sandy Harrison) was in the Adventures of Superman episode "The Man Who Made Dreams Come True", playing a wide-eyed high-school student who gets to meet Superman through the manipulations of a confidence man. Although she also appeared in major films such as Desire Under the Elms, her work usually consisted of small uncredited roles. Her biggest role was the tormented Nancy Perkins, who is victimized by a mad science teacher, in Herbert L. Strock's Blood of Dracula. Harrison left acting after an appearance in a 1965 episode of Burke's Law.

Trivia: Actress-singer-dancer Gail Ganley enjoyed a busy career on both the large and small screens across the 1950s into the early 1960s. Though she appeared in featured spots in concert films such as The T.A.M.I. Show (doing the Del Shannon song "Runaway," which she also recorded as a single for 20th Century-Fox Records), Ganley's principal fame derives from her work in a pair of late 1950s horror films. Born in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1939, Ganley was 11 years old when her family moved to Los Angeles. Her acting career began not long after -- among her early uncredited roles, she played one of Eddie Cantor's daughters in The Eddie Cantor Story (1953) and was the 15-year-old Lillian Roth (portrayed as an adult by Susan Hayward) in I'll Cry Tomorrow (1955). Amid appearances in various television comedies and anthology series, as well as small roles in jukebox movies like Don't Knock the Rock (1956), Ganley began making much longer-lasting impressions in horror films. She played a key role in the opening sequence of Roger Corman's Not of This Earth (1957), with barely a minute of screen time. As a hapless teenage girl engaging in an illicit tryst with her boyfriend, parked on what had to be the most ominous-looking street in Los Angeles, Ganley cut a memorable figure as the first on-screen victim of Paul Birch's blood-seeking alien. Her murder scene -- chillingly sudden and mysterious, and as horrific for the questions that it leaves unanswered as it is for its graphic violence -- is an almost iconic moment in modern horror films, establishing clearly for perhaps the first time in popular American cinema the direct link between teenage sexual morays and horrific death. Such connections went on to become a staple of the genre in the 1970s in the hands of John Carpenter and other directors.Ganley appeared that same year in Herbert L. Strock's Blood of Dracula, itself a gender- and genre-twisting take on vampirism, in a key supporting role. But despite increasingly good roles and memorable scenes, the actress's big-screen career didn't follow much of an upward arc. She mostly continued playing uncredited parts in major studio pictures, such as Marjorie Morningstar, and credited guest roles in television series, including The Adventures of Jim Bowie and The Munsters. She was mainly visible as a dancer/singer in her most prominent 1960s work, The T.A.M.I. Show (1965), and was reportedly linked romantically to Howard Hughes at one point. Ganley's last known screen appearance was as a dancer in the TV movie The Jerk, Too (1984).

Trivia: American actor Malcolm Atterbury may have been allowed more versatility on stage, but so far as TV was concerned he was the quintessential grouchy grandfather and/or frontier snake-oil peddler. Atterbury was in fact cast in the latter capacity twice by that haven of middle-aged character players The Twilight Zone. He was the purveyor of an elixir which induced invulnerability in 1959's "Mr. Denton on Doomsday" and a 19th century huckster who nearly sets a town on fire in "No Time Like the Past" (1963). Atterbury enjoyed steadier work as the supposedly dying owner of a pickle factory in the 1973 sitcom Thicker Than Water, and as Ronny Cox's grandfather on the 1974 Waltons clone Apple's Way. Malcolm Atterbury's best-known film role was one for which he received no screen credit: he was the friendly stranger who pointed out the crop-duster to Cary Grant in North By Northwest (1959), observing ominously that the plane was "dustin' where they're aren't any crops."

Trivia: Although Don Devlin began his career with intention of becoming an actor, his talents ultimately lay in the fields of writing and producing. Born in the Bronx in 1930, Devlin joined the Greenwich Village Dramatic Workshop after serving in the army from 1947-48. After numerous guest appearances on shows such as Rin Tin Tin during the 1950s and early '60s, Devlin expanded his career by co-writing as well as acting in Anatomy of a Psycho (1961). Eventually eschewing acting altogether, Devlin moved exclusively into producing in the late '60s and throughout the '70s, producing such films as Loving (1970) and The Witches of Eastwick (1987). Don Devlin's son Dean kept the business in the family as well. In addition to acting in the Don Devlin-produced My Bodyguard, Dean Devlin became heir to the throne of the Hollywood blockbuster, producing such crowd-pleasers as Stargate and Independence Day. On December 11, 2000, Don Devlin died of lung cancer in Los Angeles. He was 70.

Trivia: Where does one go after one has played The Devil Himself in one's very first film? Richard Devon, who indeed portrayed Satan in 1957's The Undead, was consigned to ordinary "mortal" parts for the remainder of his film career. Usually he played Latino types in such films as The Comancheros (1961), Kid Galahad (the 1962 Elvis Presley version) and Magnum Force (1973). More recently, Richard Devon has cast aside his horns and cloven hooves from The Undead to play a Cardinal in Seventh Sinner (1988).

Trivia: Supporting actor, onscreen from the '60s.

Trivia: Enjoying a stage, screen, and television career that lasted almost seven decades, former child actress Edna Holland (often billed Edna M. Holland) appeared on stage under the management of the legendary David Belasco -- just like Mary Pickford, whom Holland followed into films in 1915. Cast as "The Other Woman," Holland menaced Pickford's rival Mary Miles Minter in Always in the Way (1915) and was equally intolerant of Hazel Dawn in The Feud Girl (1916), Marjorie Rambeau in Mary Moreland (1917), and Ruth Stonehouse in The Masked Rider (1919). The latter was a blood-and-thunder serial in 15 chapters and Holland played Juanita, scheming with arch villain Paul Panzer against the lissome Miss Stonehouse. By 1920, she was billing herself the rather formidable Mrs. E.M. Holland and returned to the stage. Surprisingly, Holland was back in films by the late '30s, now mostly playing professional women, such as teachers, nurses or secretaries. Making her television debut on the Lone Ranger program in 1949, Holland went on to appear on such popular shows as Lassie, Annie Oakley and The Andy Griffith Show. She retired after a bit part in Inside Daisy Clover (1965) and died from a ruptured aneurysm in 1982.

Trivia: Born in Council Bluffs, Iowa in 1914, character actress Louise Fitch starred in such 1950s cult favorites as Blood of Dracula and I Was A Teenage Werewolf (both 1957). During this period in her career, she billed herself as Louise Lewis. Her acting career began in television's earliest years when she performed in such productions as Playhouse 90 and Climax Theater. Fitch was blacklisted for being a Communist in 1953 and this significantly hindered her career over the next decade. She made a comeback in 1963 as a regular on the NBC soap opera Paradise Bay. She would continue on to appear in a number of television programs ranging from General Hospital to Murder She Wrote. Fitch's feature film career picked up in the late '60s and early '70s and she appeared in such films as They Shoot Horses Don't They (1969), Opening Night (1977), and True Confessions (1980). Fitch was the first wife of longtime character actor/leading man Robert H. Harris. She passed away in her Venice, CA, home on September 20, 1986 at age 81.
