Richard Long/Linda Evans “Valley” On Consecutive MeTV Shows

A night back, last night ostensibly I slept through (separate, but adjacent elevators in the “Silly/Einhorn “would have” dream), I watched two Big Valley cast members shine in episodes of “Alfred Hitchcock Presents” and then “Mannix” on MeTV.

First Richard Long, a superb actor, (early on see him with “Edward G” (Robinson) and vs Orson’s (Welles) character in “The Stranger,” who so sadly died young, plays an at best, a morally bankrupt man in an “ep” (Sheriff’s name on another MeTV staple, “The Waltons”) titled “The Opportunity,” from 1962.

Next with some nice kissing scenes with Mike Connors’ “Mannix” character, the beautiful Linda Evans shows more (no not that!!), but acting chops than before, arguably after, in an episode called “The Ragged Edge.” Being clear: Ms. Evans is a fine performer, beautiful and talented. This episode as a manipulative character, again really shows her “chops,” which is acting talk for skill.

That is Linda Evans in “Mannix,” apparently on what was also “The Brady Bunch Kitchen”

6 in el morning, it is all a story, I have one, you do as well!!
