From The Eddie Brinkmann Archival Collection
On a Sullivan show trip west to Television City, Eddie visits with director Ezra Stone on the ‘Bachelor Father’ set at Review Studios. When Stone’s acting life with ‘The Aldrich Family’ radio show ended, he turned primarily to directing on stage and in television—ironically, his first television directing assignment was the television version of ‘The Aldrich Family’ in 1952. From there he went on to direct for numerous shows, including ‘I Married Joan’, ‘Bachelor Father’, ‘Bob Hope Presents the Chrysler Theater’, ‘Lassie’, ‘The Munsters’, ‘Lost in Space’, ‘Julia’, and ‘Love, American Style’.
note that piece of ‘furniture’ at the right made for actors to relax between shots. It’s a little unusual to see one of these on a non-sci/fi set. Actors on “Lost In Space” used them because their first-season silver uniforms were of stiff material making it hard to sit down.
