Connecting Some “Richard Long Dots”

Richard Long was a fine actor, best known for television work on such shows as “The Big Valley” and “Nanny and the Professor.”

A good link is that Mr. Long has an important scene in the 1946 film, “The Stranger” with acting great, Edward G. Robinson.

On “The Big Valley,” he had many scenes with the legendary Barbara Stanwyck, who played his mother on the show.

In the classic film, “Double Indemnity” Mr. Robinson and Ms. Stanwyck are two of the top three billed cast (Fred MacMurray is the other), however they have only one scene together, that with others including MacMurray involved.

Fond memories abound, thinking about these four actors.
