The show took off, eclipsing I Love Lucy only weeks into its debut, and attracting the very best actors: Ethel Barrymore, Joseph Cotton, Bette Davis, Jimmy Stewart, James Dean, Natalie Wood, Alan Ladd, Jack Benny, Lee Marvin, Charles Bronson, Angie Dickinson, Vincent Price, Walter Mathau, Charlton Heston, Donna Reed, Greer Garson, David Janssen, to name a few.
I had a very good part, playing a young sentry who is befriended by Andrew Jackson, played by Charlton Heston ... They kept adding scenes. I was supposed to work only three or four weeks and ended up working the whole 18 weeks and having a girflriend and all that. That was quite an exciting thing.
