It also features a song by Diahann Carroll, "accompanied" by Gary Crosby's character. Robert Alda also has a major supporting role here. Overall I think it represents LV well.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00483417885845331990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1130871072830136009.post-335486580301386892019-10-25T21:17:33.298-07:002019-10-25T21:17:33.298-07:00Not that this comment has anything to do with Vega...Not that this comment has anything to do with Vegas, but I've been popping around the site reading random blog entries as they catch my eye, and I was astonished when I read about Dean Martin romancing Kate Jackson's stand-in. Camille Hagan was the second wife of Hervé Villechaize, before an acrimonious split. They met when she was an extra on "Fantasy Island".PlainvilleWriter65https://www.blogger.com/profile/16648465718298609503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1130871072830136009.post-27867178322250477362018-12-02T09:58:53.983-08:002018-12-02T09:58:53.983-08:00And , the TV Series " VEGA$ " actually g...And , the TV Series " VEGA$ " actually got set up on the end scene of that episode of " Charlie's Angels !!"Bryan W.

I'm sure they weren't filmed there much, but they both had some location footage shot there at least for their opening credits.<br />I just saw "The Caravan" Season 4 episode of THE DONNA REED SHOW, and while it mostly covered the Stones' trip out West in a travel trailer, it did have some nice vintage 1962 footage of LV, including hotels like Dunes, Stardust, and Flamingo, and it had the family booking a night at the Riviera Hotel, which had a credit at the end of the episode for the hotel for providing "transportation costs and special facilities".<br />Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00483417885845331990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1130871072830136009.post-72929332089105672015-08-20T16:27:15.706-07:002015-08-20T16:27:15.706-07:00It's amazing and wonderful I discover this bl...It's amazing and wonderful I discover this blog while currently IN Las Vegas !! :)P.Kellach W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03825408454145281622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1130871072830136009.post-50925379398117389462015-08-20T16:27:08.186-07:002015-08-20T16:27:08.186-07:00It's amazing and wonderful I discover this bl...It's amazing and wonderful I discover this blog while currently IN Las Vegas !! :)P.Kellach W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03825408454145281622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1130871072830136009.post-4054775288415890222015-05-10T18:22:58.152-07:002015-05-10T18:22:58.152-07:00Insightful post!

I remember the PARTRIDGE FAMILY episode.<br /><br />I will add that "Earthquake II," the fifth season opener of SANFORD & SON, was shot in Las Vegas and boasts guest appearances from Steve & Eydie and Merv Griffin. It's a fun peek at Vegas circa summer 1975 (the episode aired in September '75). <br /><br />My favorite Vegas-set show isn't a television episode but the 1971 James Bond film DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER, which should satisfy anyone eager for a peek at vintage Vegas.

Believe it or not, it was partially filmed in Namibia, which was still under the control of South Africa at the time.<br /><br />Speaking of "Perfect Strangers," Bronson Pinchot was actually engaged to Marcy Walker for a time. The two actors met while filming "Hot Resort" on the Caribbean island of St. Kitts. Mr. Hofstede, do you think Marcy has borne at least a passing resemblance to Cheryl Ladd?Christopher Stuarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17477722106362926482noreply@blogger.com
