Although I dearly miss Andy Anderson in season 9, Lt. Drumm is another facinating portrayal of the homicide lieutenant detective. (Strange that Andy was replaced by an Anderson.)<br /><br />Small story you might find amusing. Richard Anderson was in a great 'Columbo' episode called 'Lady in Waiting'. He was the murder victim, killed by his sister, played by Susan Clark. When the mother of this pair arrives the next day to mourn her son, she picks up his framed photograph from a table, with all a mother's tender love. But instead of a loving son gazing back with a warm smile, the photo has Anderson's classic expression; stern, frowning, ultra serious. A small, hysterically funny moment. I can see Mr. Anderson cracking up over that little joke on the audience!!<br /><br />kc<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6014719046592425521.post-54562143763135559522014-12-10T03:04:55.416-07:002014-12-10T03:04:55.416-07:00Finally got to hear the interview!

I got so involved in the interview that I missed a line and had to go back and put it in. What a fun, lovely interview! Richard is always so dignified and kind and appreciates the fans. I would have loved to call or write in if I'd known about it ahead of time, although I don't imagine there would have been much hope of getting to my message.Lucky Ladybughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03144030216717152716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6014719046592425521.post-44795161501304066302014-12-04T18:23:42.284-07:002014-12-04T18:23:42.284-07:00Oh, that honestly makes me happy.

I've definitely hoped that at least one of the things I've heard, that he was let go because the crew didn't like the direction his character had taken, is untrue.<br /><br />Awesome, thank you! I'll listen to that right away. Reading the accompanying blurb, though, I notice Richard is listed as the first who appeared as the same character on two shows at once. I'm amazed at the number of times people don't remember Leo G. Carroll doing the same thing ten years earlier, appearing simultaneously and regularly on The Man from U.N.C.L.E. and The Girl from U.N.C.L.E. I love Richard dearly, but he definitely wasn't the first on that point. Although he may have been the first to do it longer than one season....Lucky Ladybughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03144030216717152716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6014719046592425521.post-16198097187417262062014-12-04T14:58:36.223-07:002014-12-04T14:58:36.223-07:00The reasons for Wesley Lau leaving the show were p...The reasons for Wesley Lau leaving the show were personal and private and did not involve Richard directly so he preferred to not go into detail concerning them.<br />Below is another interview link concerning the book:<br />http://www.blogtalkradio.com/richardrossi/2014/12/03/hollywood-movie-star-richard-anderson-aka-oscar-goldman-writer-al-doshna-1<br />adoshnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08870227037118729267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6014719046592425521.post-71720748992790259942014-11-16T17:15:59.422-07:002014-11-16T17:15:59.422-07:00Wonderful!

Does it answer the question once and for all as to why Wesley Lau disappeared from the show? (Richard's character replaced his, so it would be relevant.) I would love to finally know the truth on that mystery, after only hearing conflicting rumors.Lucky Ladybughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03144030216717152716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6014719046592425521.post-61034518888520883772014-11-16T08:01:28.229-07:002014-11-16T08:01:28.229-07:00Here is an interview about the book that Richard j...Here is an interview about the book that Richard just did.<br /><br />http://www.bookpleasures.com/websitepublisher/articles/7271/1/Hollywood-Actor-Richard-Anderson-Discusses-Acting-and-His-Memoir-With-Norm-Goldman-of-Bookpleasurescom-/Page1.html#.VGbCF9JDvq7adoshnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08870227037118729267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6014719046592425521.post-92089375022725220422014-11-05T22:38:08.416-07:002014-11-05T22:38:08.416-07:00Thanks for your courtesy.

Richard just wanted things to be a little further along, as they are now with the website listing, before he started telling fans about it more openly.

Or maybe someone attending took a video and will post it.<br /><br />I can imagine. Writing in general is definitely is both fun and challenging. That's really great that Richard is happy with how it's turning out. I'm sure I'll definitely want more! ;)<br /><br />I wanted to make a post and announce about the book as soon as you told me, but then I thought I should probably wait until after the weekend and allow Richard to make the first public announcement at the convention. I'll make a post this week.Lucky Ladybughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03144030216717152716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6014719046592425521.post-43105630825951337272014-11-01T09:25:54.230-06:002014-11-01T09:25:54.230-06:00Yes, sometimes it's just a matter of finding t...Yes, sometimes it's just a matter of finding the right person who wants to help that makes all the difference, as far as the library goes. It might be good to check into it from time to time.<br />Will keep you posted about developments including videos - hope he did a few in RI!<br />It was both fun and a challenge on the book. Writing a book was the last thing on either of our minds, but it just came together as a natural progression. However Richard is extremely pleased with the results and we are just putting finishing touches on it to make sure it is something fans will enjoy...and maybe have them wanting more!<br />We appreciate your interest.adoshnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08870227037118729267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6014719046592425521.post-22307979905278592702014-10-30T17:31:01.533-06:002014-10-30T17:31:01.533-06:00Yes, I used to watch a lot of great stuff that way...Yes, I used to watch a lot of great stuff that way when we lived where there was a library system. Now there's just one dinky library and the libraries in the county refuse to cooperate and form a system. Sigh. Thanks for the suggestion, though. :) Some libraries refuse to send audio-visual materials through Inter-Library Loan, as I've frustratingly learned, but I could try and see.<br /><br />YouTube is definitely a friend for stuff that isn't on DVD. I've seen some wonderful, rare performances there.<br /><br />It must have been a lot of fun working on the book and meeting with Richard!<br /><br />Wonderful! I hope videos from the convention will go up on YouTube afterwards. RI is nowhere near me. I hope someday Richard will come to a convention in my state.Lucky Ladybughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03144030216717152716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6014719046592425521.post-84540651648070213642014-10-30T08:46:35.931-06:002014-10-30T08:46:35.931-06:00You know, to save a little money, you can rent the...You know, to save a little money, you can rent the DVDs or in some cases VHSs from your local library. If they don't have them they might be able to order them from a nearby library. That way you can watch them at least. That's how I did some of my research for the book. then there's also YouTube. Richard will be in Rhode Island this weekend for a convention. This will include his first real public announcement about the book.adoshnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08870227037118729267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6014719046592425521.post-61640145112210305872014-10-29T18:02:28.250-06:002014-10-29T18:02:28.250-06:00Oh, yayyayyay!

Oh fun...Yes, it really was! Richard is awesome. :)<br /><br />Oh fun! I found it a very basic quiz and got all questions right. Perhaps that just shows how Perry-obsessed I am!<br /><br />Actually, the quiz writer got two things wrong. Paul was absent from at least two episodes: The Prudent Prosecutor and A Place Called Midnight. And in season 6, Mike Connors was not one of the fill-in lawyers for Raymond Burr. He came along in season 8. The season 6 ones were Bette Davis, Hugh O'Brien, Michael Rennie, and Walter Pigeon. Mike Connors and Barry Sullivan were the season 8 ones.<br /><br />Oh, and the writer was really off about Della being in all but one episode. There's actually several without her, perhaps close to ten or fifteen total. Hmm, now I'm curious to count up the exact number.Lucky Ladybughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03144030216717152716noreply@blogger.com
