1bigrich Stay tuned for upcoming segments on William Talman & Richard Anderson. Chapter 2 will be started next week. Funny, I was just thinking about this thread. I saw an episode of Gunsmoke with William Tallman, prosecutor Hamilton Burger in Perry Mason.
Tallman played an outlaw just out of prison. His old gang wants him to be their leader again, the law in a nearby town basically wants to lynch him and he just wants to be left alone and farm. Gunsmoke was a great series, no wonder it lasted so long....
Regards,

Hamilton Burger was the arrogant prosecutor, who thought he sucker-punched Perry in court cases, but ends up losing all of them. Stay tuned for next week on the segments of Talman & Anderson plus Chapter 2 will be getting started sometime next week as well. |

Stay tuned for next week on the segments of Talman & Anderson plus Chapter 2 will be getting started sometime next week as well. There were a couple episodes (at least, as I recall) where Burger has a friend in trouble and gets Perry to represent him. I think in at least one, he recused himself as prosecutor and sat in the courtroom in the pretrial hearing....

Talman 1:26 PM PST, July 13th, 1966 Encino, CA William Talman as DA Hamilton Burger & Marlyn Mason as Erna Landry in Season 9 finale of "The Case of the Final Fade-Out" from May 22nd, 1966.
Following the Season 9's final episode, William Talman also guest-starred in various television series such as "Wagon Train", "Have Gun-Will Travel", "Cimarron City" & "Gunsmoke". Following the end of Season 9 (which CBS later renewed for a 10th Season), he also appeared on "The Wild, Wild West" & in a first-season episode of "The Invaders: Quantity: Unknown". While doing a six-week tour of Vietnam to entertain the troops, he began having a persistent cough which originally went from just about nothing to all of a sudden constant coughing non-stop: upon returning back to the States, doctors discovered it was lung cancer, which Talman realized he didn't have long to live (more on that later in the TL).
Going back to his time with the "Perry Mason" TV Series, Talman was fired from the show on March 13th, 1960 after a controversial party at which he was a guest, was raided by the Los Angeles Police Department. Although he strongly denied any wrongdoing (the other guests were either semi-nude or completely nude at this party), he was still fired from the show due to the morals clause in his contract. He was later rehired after executive producer Gail Patrick Jackson, staunchly supported by Talman's friend, Raymond Burr & fellow cast members William Hopper & Barbara Hale, made a request to CBS following massive letter-writing campaign by viewers who demanded Talman be brought back on the show!
Despite being brought back on the show, the controversial "party incident" in Beverly Hills fairly or not, all but assured his acting career was damaged & pretty much doomed any chance of working any further in the entertainment industry despite being cleared of the criminal charges & rehired by CBS.

Chapter 2: Dickinson 2:46 PM PST, July 20th, 1966 Somewhere in Denver, CO
Angeline Brown was born on September 30th, 1931 in Kulm, ND, the daughter of Fredericka (nee Hehr) & Leo Henry Brown; the second of four daughters. Her family was of German descent & she was raised Roman Catholic. Her father was a small-town newspaper publisher & editor, working on the Kulm Messenger & Edgeley Mail. She fell in love with movies at an early age, as her father was also the projectionist at the town's only movie theater until it burned down.
In 1942, when she was ten years old, the Brown family moved to Burbank, CA where Angie (nickname she was referred to by family & friends) attended Bellarmine-Jefferson High School, graduating in 1947 at the age of 15. The previous year, she had won the Sixth Annual Bill of Rights essay contest. She then studied at Immaculate Heart College, Los Angeles, & at Glendale Community College, becoming a Business graduate by 1954. Taking a cue from her publisher father, she had originally intended to be a writer. While a student during 1950-52, she worked as a secretary at Lockheed Air Terminal (now Bob Hope Airport) & in a parts factory. She became Angie Dickinson in 1952 when she married football player Gene Dickinson.
Dickinson came in second at a local preliminary for the Miss America contest, & that got the attention of a casting agent, who landed her a spot as one of six showgirls on the Jimmy Durante Show. The exposure brought her to the attention of a television industry producer, who asked her to consider a career in acting. She studied the craft & a few years later was approached by NBC to guest-star on a number of variety shows, including the Colgate Comedy Hour. She soon met with Frank Sinatra, who became a lifelong friend. She was later cast as Sinatra's wife in the film Ocean's 11 (1960).
On New Years' Eve 1954, Dickinson made her television acting debut in an episode of Death Valley Days. This led to roles in such productions as Matinee Theatre (eight episodes), Buffalo Bill, Jr., City Detective, It's a Great Life (two episodes), Gray Ghost, General Electric Theater, Broken Arrow, The People's Choice (twice), Meet McGraw (twice), Northwest Passage, Gunsmoke, The Virginian, Tombstone Territory, Cheyenne & The Restless Gun.
In 1956, Dickinson appeared in an episode of The Life & Legend of Wyatt Earp. The next year, she took another small role in Richard Boone's series Have Gun--Will Travel in the episode "A Matter of Ethics". In 1958, she was cast as Laura Meadows in the episode "The Deserters" of an ABC/Warner Bros. Western series, Colt.45, with Wayne Preston. That year, she also played the role of defendant Mrs. Fargo in the Perry Mason episode of "The Case of the One-Eyed Witness." during the TV Series' 1st Season.
