no, that is not her husband. It is the son of Kirk Douglas.

Anne Jeffreys, the actress and opera singer who likely had her greatest impact on TV audiences as Marion Kerby “the ghostess with the mostess” in the 1950s TV series “Topper,” has died. She was 94.
Jeffreys, whose husband, actor Robert Sterling, died in 2006, died peacefully in her sleep at her Los Angeles home on Wednesday evening, her manager Don Gibble said Thursday.
More recently, she spent two decades playing Amanda Barrington on “General Hospital” She was featured in the role of the wealthy on more than 350 episodes of the soap opera from 1984 until 2004.
In “Topper,” she and Sterling starred as fun-loving husband and wife George and Marion Kerby who, after dying in a Swiss avalanche, return as ghosts to their mansion and comically haunt its new occupant, actor Leo G. Carroll as staid banker Cosmo Topper.
Each week they were introduced to viewers as George, “that most sporting spirit,” and Marion, “the ghostess with the mostess.”
They were among many varied roles in a long career in films, television, opera and on Broadway for Jeffreys, who continued to work well into her 70s. Her final on-screen appearance was on the HBO series “Getting On.”
Early in her career, she appeared opposite John Wayne in “Flying Tigers.” In later years, she appeared on such TV shows as “L.A. Law” and “Murder, She Wrote” and played David Hasselhoff’s mother on “Baywatch.”

I agree, it also looks “Cordish”. In any case, a beautiful and unique car.
they were pop singers. Don’t know why there wasn’t a rock version of the show?
PING
>>Hit Parade!!!!!
To this day I remember a singer wearing a black mantilla singing Vaya Con Dios. I was mesmerized. I saw Judy Collins perform in a tiny little coffee shop in Chicago. And Bob Dylan in Orchestra Hall. The author was crazy. He raised a finger and silence fell.
audience was crazy.
I’m sure the author was, as well. Actually, did see Timothy Leary give a lecture at U of Chicago. I was probably the only straight one in the audience. (got it right that time!)
I had the tent and the rifle! Tried sleeping in the backyard. Made it almost 5 minutes before running inside. Still scared of the dark! GREAT SONG! As well as Sink the Bismark!
Husband was actually on 64K question, as a teen.
one of my favs. I had a coon skin cap and the Phil Harris 78 with the story of the alamo on it.
My next door neighbor had the cap. Now I’m horrified when I see the striped tails two feet below my window. I still have the 45 of Sink the Bismark, might have the Davy Crockett. Know I have the 78 of Sgt Preston.

Surely Ava Gardener will fit in there somewhere.
“Out of the blue of the Western sky ...”
Babe,babe,and babe!
So sad...I was brought up with this show!!!!
Leo. G Carol was one!!!
of course. I guess she was really something the way all those guys wanted her.
When we were ion Puerto Vallarta we took a tour. in one neighborhood there was a pedestrian bridge from the second floor one one house to the one across the street. Right in the middle of the block.
When Burton signed to do night of the Iguana with Sue Lyon and Ava Gardner, Liz Taylor bought the house across the street from the one where Burton was staying to protect her interest. She had the pedestrian bridge built.
“Topper” was probably TV’s first fantasy show, paving the way for programs like “Bewitched”, “I Dream of Jeannie”, “My Favorite Martian”, etc. The premise of these shows were basically the same: The lead character is the only person who knows their co-star’s “secret”, but can’t tell anybody. They are surrounded by suspicious friends/neighbors/coworkers who know that something unusual is going on, but can’t quite figure it out.
She WAS hot. We just watched Mr. Roberts again last night. Her nurse character was quite a man-killer.
