After Sunday's storm my power was out for 24 hours and the internet was out for 48, so I've been holed up, trying to preserve the last of the cool air, entertaining myself with an old USB drive of downloaded one-season-wonder TV shows on a borrowed laptop with a really good battery (and a generous neighbor with a portable charger who made it last an extra day).

I had to have something to keep myself from fixating on that one H.P. Lovecraft story.

Stuart Margolin (January 31, 1940 – December 12, 2022)  Film, stage and television actor and director who won two Emmy Awards for playing Evelyn "Angel" Martin on the 1970s television series The Rockford Files. In 1973, he played in Gunsmoke as an outlaw.  In 1981, Margolin portrayed the character of Philo Sandeen in a recurring role as a Native American tracker in the 1981–1982 television series, Bret Maverick.

Margolin played the recurring character Evelyn "Angel" Martin, the shifty friend and former jailmate of Jim Rockford (James Garner) on The Rockford Files, whose various cons and schemes usually got Rockford in hot water. Margolin was earlier paired with Garner in the Western series Nichols (1971–72), in which he played a character somewhat similar to the Angel character in The Rockford Files. That show lasted for only one season.

In 1969 Margolin wrote and co-produced The Ballad of Andy Crocker, an ABC television movie that was one of the first films to deal with the subject matter of Vietnam veterans "coming home."

Margolin appeared in episodes of the television series M*A*S*H ("Bananas, Crackers and Nuts" and "Operation Noselift"), The Partridge Family ("Go Directly to Jail" and "A Penny for His Thoughts"), That Girl ("11 Angry Men and That Girl" as a juror, and "7¼ (Part 2)" as Leonard Stanley). The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Rhoda, an episode of Land of the Giants ("The Mechanical Man"), Twelve O'Clock High ("Mutiny at Ten Thousand Feet"), The Monkees ("Monkees Watch Their Feet"), Love, American Style (in which he was a member of the Love American Style Players; his brother Arnold Margolin was the executive producer of the series), Crazy Like a Fox (playing a similar character to Angel Martin), The Fall Guy (in which he played Ace Cochran in "The Molly Sue"), Magnum, P.I., Hill Street Blues (as bookmaker Andy Sedita in the consecutive episodes "Hacked to Pieces" and "Seoul on Ice") and Touched by an Angel ("With God as My Witness").

In May 2009, Margolin appeared on an episode of 30 Rock, opposite Alan Alda; it was the first time the two actors appeared together since Margolin's appearance on M*A*S*H in 1974.

Margolin appeared in the 2009 CTV/CBS police drama series The Bridge.

Margolin appeared as bail jumper Stanley Wescott in the episode The Overpass (Season 5 Episode 2; 2013) of the Canadian CBC Television series Republic of Doyle, which itself was inspired by The Rockford Files.  (Wikipedia)

Born On This Day April 7 1928 James Garner

(1928-2014)

American actor (Rockford Files, Bret Maverick), born in Norman Oklahoma

Photo: Fifty years ago, a new type of private eye show burst onto home screens across the country, and along with it a goldPontiac Firebird.The Rockford Files Was notable, if for no other reason than its central character was a detective who actually charged for his work. In every episode,James Garner As Jim Rockford always told his client, "My fee is $200 a day plus expenses." He usually got paid, too.

To Pontiac fans, the gold Firebird coupe that character Rockford drove every episode for six seasons (Garner received a new Firebird directly from Pontiac every year from 1974-1978) was as much the co-star of the popular TV show as a black-and-gold Trans Am was to Smokey and the Bandit and a futuristic, crime-fighting Trans Am was to Knight Rider.

The reasons a fairly standard Firebird was chosen as Rockford's wheels are tied to that blue collar ethic, Garner once saying that a Pontiac Formula Pontiac Trans Am model would not have suited the character.

Cliff Emmich in the 1980s

Most of Cliff Emmich's jobs in the 1980s mostly came from guest appearances on TV shows and appearing in TV movies. In the above photos he guest-starred on 2 episodes of CHiPs in 1980 and 1983.

Emmich did appear in Halloween II in 1981. You may remember the Hospital's night security guard.

Cliff was on an episode of Falcon Crest in 1982.

Cliff also guested on TV show Bret Maverick in 1982. I was hoping for another bathtub scene in the show but I'm just happy he was in it.

Cliff Emmich also made appearances in The Incredible Hulk, Matt Houston and Trapper John, MD in the early 1980s.

He appeared in the movie Hellhole in 1985.

As well as an episode of Knight Rider.

And he appeared in comedy/horror movie Return to Horror High as the cameraman in 1987.

And episodes of Hunter, 227 and Night Court. That is probably his own belt buckle he is wearing in Night Court. It looks to be the same one he wore in Return to Horror High.

Character Actor

Gerald Mohr (June 11, 1914 – November 9, 1968)  Radio, film, and television character actor and frequent leading man, who appeared in more than 500 radio plays, 73 films, and over 100 television shows.

From the 1950s on, he appeared as a guest star in more than 100 television series, including the Westerns The Californians, Maverick, Johnny Ringo, The Alaskans, Lawman, Cheyenne (as Pat Keogh in episode "Rendezvous at Red Rock"/as Elmer Bostrum in episode "Incident at Dawson Flats"), Bronco, Overland Trail (as James Addison Reavis, "the Baron of Arizona", in the episode "The Baron Comes Back"), Sugarfoot, Bonanza (as Phil Reed in the episode "The Abduction", as Collins in the episode "Found Child", as Cato Troxell in the episode "A Girl Named George"), The Rifleman, Wanted: Dead or Alive (episode "Till Death do us Part"), Death Valley Days (as Andrés Pico in "The Firebrand"), and Rawhide. In 1949, he was co-announcer, along with Fred Foy, and narrator of 16 of the shows of the first season of The Lone Ranger, speaking the well-known introduction as well as story details. The narration was dropped after sixteen episodes.

Mohr guest-starred seven times in the 1957–62 television series Maverick, twice playing Western gambler Doc Holliday in "The Quick and the Dead" and briefly in the conclusion of "Seed of Deception", a role he reprised again in "Doc Holliday in Durango", a 1958 episode of Tombstone Territory. In one of the other Maverick episodes, he portrayed Steve Corbett, a character based on Bogart's in Casablanca. That episode, "Escape to Tampico," used the set from the original film, this time as a Mexican saloon where Bret Maverick (James Garner) arrives to hunt down Mohr's character for an earlier murder.

Mohr also guest-starred on Crossroads, The DuPont Show with June Allyson, Harrigan and Son, The Barbara Stanwyck Show, It's Always Jan, Perry Mason, 77 Sunset Strip, Hawaiian Eye, Lost in Space, Ripcord and many other television series of the era, especially those being produced by Warner Bros. Studios and Dick Powell's Four Star Productions. He sang in the 1956 Cheyenne episode "Rendezvous at Red Rock". He also essayed Captain Vadim, an Iron Curtain submarine commander, in the Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea episode "The Lost Bomb". In the series' fourth and final season (1968-69), Mohr guest-starred in the episode "Flight From San Miguel" on The Big Valley. This episode was broadcast posthumously in April 1969.

Mohr made guest appearances on such network television comedy shows as The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show (1951), How to Marry a Millionaire (1958), The Jack Benny Program (1961 & 1962), The Smothers Brothers Show (1965) and The Lucy Show (1968). He had the recurring role of newsman Brad Jackson in My Friend Irma  (1952). He played "Ricky's friend", psychiatrist "Dr. Henry Molin" (real life name of the assistant film editor on the show), in the February 2, 1953 episode of I Love Lucy, "The Inferiority Complex". His repeated line was, "Treatment, Ricky. Treatment".

In 1954–1955, he starred as Christopher Storm in 41 episodes of the third season of Foreign Intrigue, produced in Stockholm for American distribution. During several episodes of Foreign Intrigue, but most noticeably in "The Confidence Game" and "The Playful Prince", he can be heard playing on the piano his own musical composition, "The Frontier Theme", so called because Christopher Storm was the owner of the Hotel Frontier in Vienna. Foreign Intrigue was nominated for an Emmy Award in 1954 under the category "Best Mystery, Action or Adventure Program" and again in 1955 under the category "Best Mystery or Intrigue Series".

Mohr made four guest appearances on Perry Mason (1961–66). In his first appearance, he played Joe Medici in "The Case of the Unwelcome Bride". In 1963, he played murder victim Austin Lloyd in "The Case of the Elusive Element". In 1964, he played the murderer, Alan Durfee, in "The Case of a Place Called Midnight". In 1966, he played agent Andy Rubin in the series' final episode, "The Case of the Final Fadeout".

He continued to market his powerful voice, playing Reed Richards (Mister Fantastic) in the Fantastic Four cartoon series during 1967 and Green Lantern in the 1968 animated series Aquaman.  (Wikipedia)
