Reclaiming an Actress’ Crown

Judy: All my life, I’ve been—I’ve been waiting for someone to adore me, and now I love someone. And it’s so easy. Why is it so uncomplicated now?
Jim: I don’t know; it is for me, too.
Judy: I adore you, Jim. I really mean it.
Jim: Well, I mean it . . .
Who can forget Natalie Wood and James Dean as Judy and Jim in “Rebel Without a Cause?” Two dysfunctional, suburban teens with a closeted pal named Plato (Sal Mineo), try to make sense of a society where your dad doesn’t understand you, ignores you, or worse––wears an apron in the kitchen.
But to watch “Rebel” (1955), “Splendor in the Grass” (1961), “West Side Story” (1961), “Miracle on 34th Street” (1947), or the hyper-emotional “All the Fine Childish Cannibals” (1960) is to revisit how Wood once generated so much acclaim. Natalie won the Golden Globe award for Most Promising Newcomer in 1957. She was in a three-way-tie though with Carroll Baker and Jayne Mansfield.

Jeffrey Hunter may not contain been the most renowned actor, but he sure was one of the most handsome.
His most celebrated roles are as John Wayne’s character’s sidekick in The Searchers, as Jesus Christ in the biblical film King of Kings, and as Capt. Christopher Pike in the authentic pilot episode of Actor Trek. He also made a few films with Robert Wagner so I’ve included several photos of them together.

Hackman was on Sherwood Schwartz’s wish list for maybe Mikes, and he’d hoped to set up an interview with the actor to discuss the part. But once again, the suits had something to state about his concept, and the something they were saying was, No one knows who this guy is. It was 1968, and Hackman had made guest appearances on I Spy, The F.B.I., and Robert Reed’s legal drama The Defenders. He’d also earned his first Oscar nomination, a supporting-actor nod for Bonnie and Clyde. But his popularity among TV audiences, network execs said, was zilc
