Howard Duff 

in Spaceways - 1952 - British sci-fi movie makers regularly used American leading men hoping to get favor with the huge US market. In this flick, Duff is building rockets, accused of murdering his wife and all ga-ga over his assistant the heroine. Howard Duff was a multi-talented actor and did a wonderful job as the radio persona of "Sam Spade."

Battlestar Galactica, 1978

Dirk Benedict & Richard Hatch 

In Modern Sci-Fi, 

Hugh Jackman 

has beaten out the competition - Johnny Depp and David Tennant 
- and has been named the sexiest actor in science fiction.

MLiving Doll was a 30 minute comedy series with a sci-fi twist broadcast on CBS about a beautiful female robot whose scientist/inventor (Dr. Miller) was called away to an assignment in Pakistan. Dr. Miller decided to leave the robot in the care of a U.S. Air Force psychiatrist named Dr. McDonald. Bob decided to tell people that the robot was Dr. Miller's niece and named her Rhoda Miller in order to keep her inhumaness a secret. Rhoda's totally unemotional "personality" makes that difficult, and even worse, Dr. McDonald's neighbor, Peter Robinson, fell in love with Rhoda! 

My Living Doll presented men with their ultimate fantasy ... an absolutely gorgeous woman who spoke only when spoken to and did absolutely anything she was asked! Rhoda Miller was developed through Air Force project "AF 709." However, Rhoda was never "taken advantage of" on the show but the inuendos never let the viewers forget the possibilities. With the changing attitudes and development of feminism that would develop over the next decade, it's unlikely that My Living Doll would have made it to television much later than it did in the mid-1960s.
Robert Cummings ("Love That Bob") suddenly left My Living Doll with five episodes remaining to be filmed! The writers explained Dr. McDonald's disappearance by having him transferred to Pakistan in order to assist Rhoda's inventor, Dr. Miller. They had Peter Robinson accidentally discover that Rhoda was a robot and he took over as her caretaker.
My Living Doll had some pretty major competition for an audience. It started out on Sunday nights from 9:00 to 9:30 p.m. against the blockbuster NBC series, "Bonanza" which also happened to draw a mostly male audience. In the middle of December it was moved to Wednesday nights from 8:00 to 8:30PM and had to contend with another top NBC western series, "The Virginian!"

Julie Newmar's 

"MY LIVING DOLL" 1964 TV Show 

- The Official Collection Vol.1 

is coming to DVD

Fans of Julie Newmar should be pretty excited about this! MPI Home Video has just announced that around March 2012 they will be releasing a brand-new 2-Disc DVD Set featuring "THE LIVING DOLL" TV Series! It will contain 11 complete episodes plus Special Features. This was the show she was on before becoming CATWOMAN on the 1966 BATMAN series. Here's their Press Release:
Iconic actress Julie Newmar may be best-known as the original feline villain Catwoman in the 1960s Batman television series. However, her cult-classic, small-screen career was cemented with the CBS-TV sitcom MY LIVING DOLL. Newmar portrays Rhoda the robot, a top-secret project of the U.S. government's space program, who is placed under the supervision of agency psychiatrist Dr. Bob McDonald, played by Robert Cummings (The Bob Cummings Show/Love That Bob). Bob moves the beautiful Rhoda into his apartment and begins the task of training her how to function in the human world while keeping her secret from being discovered, a situation complicated by his interfering sister (Doris Dowling) and his love-sick neighbor Peter (Jack Mullaney). This collection offers 11 complete episodes of MY LIVING DOLL which have not aired on television in decades and make their official DVD debut. A wealth of special features is also included.

Try this Stereogram



Stereograms became very popular in the 1990s. In 1991, a computer programmer collaborated with an artist and developed the first sophisticated, full-color stereogram using state of the art 3D modeling software and colorful art techniques. To see the 3D image above allow your eyes to diverge, as if you’re focused on an object more distant than the image itself. “Good Luck.” Click the image to see the original.
