NBC 67th Street Studios Control Room
In the two ‘Password’ posts just before this, we go over a lot of the history of this studio, but here is a one of a kind shot from our friend Gady Reinhold. ‘From These Roots’ was in rehearsal at the time Gady took this shot around 1959. This NBC soap opera, which ran from June 1958 till the fall of 1961, was created and written by Frank Provo and John Pickard. This was the first successful daytime drama for Ann Flood who later became well known for, and spent the better part of two decades playing Nancy Karr on ‘The Edge of Night’. The show was directed by Joseph Behar and featured a storyline dealing with the show-within-a-show. Gady also took the photos inside the Video Tape Center (which this property became in late 1961) in the prior post. Many Thanks Gady!
Joe Behar was later the long-time director of Let’s Make a Deal and several other soaps.
The soap opera dates match up with Video Tape Center’s move-in in September, 1961.
