Obituary: Actor Michael Callan, 86, known for roles in films like West Side Story, died yesterday of pneumonia.
Fun fact:
On the 1966-67 NBC comedy Occasional Wife, Callan starred as a confirmed bachelor who sets up a woman (Patricia Harty) in an upstairs apartment so she can pose as his wife in order to help him advance at the baby food company where he works. (His boss believes all his execs should be married.)
Perhaps because the premise was a bit risqué for its day, the Screen Gems series was canceled after one season. In real life, Callan and Harty both got divorced and wed in June 1968, but their marriage wouldn’t last much longer than their series. (Fun fact: Vin Scully was the narrator on Occasional Wife.)
The chickenshit USSC wusses out on the antiabortion argument about the "personhood" of the fetus.
