Comic actor Charles Nelson Reilly<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Nelson_Reilly>was booked on *Tattletales* during both CBS runs; his playing partner in 1977 was Elizabeth Allen <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Allen_%28actress%29>, a long-time friend from his days on Broadway, and his partner on the show in 1982 was Julie Harris <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julie_Harris>, another old friend from Broadway who was married to her third husband, Walter Carroll, at the time the program was produced." I remember watching the Elizabeth Allen episodes when they originally aired, but I never saw the ones with Harris. Allen was also introduced as "his lady."
Of course, Harris and Reilly *were* very close; they co-starred on Broadway in the 1965-66 musical "Skyscraper" (alongside "Hollywood Squares" host Peter Marshall), and Reilly later directed her in her Tony-winning performance in "The Belle of Amherst" and her Tony-nominated turn in "The Gin Game." -Tim -- -- TV or Not TV ....
