Aah, wish I had your extensive knowledge of film to have asked about all of that. I pretty much focused on "Dobie" and "Patty Duke" questions, plus some SAG questions for Schallert. He is very well-spoken. Both men had nothing but good to say about their TV experiences. I was fortunate to meet a lot of my 50s and 60s TV heroes when I lived in LA in the 90s through a friend in the biz. Most of them were great to talk to and surprisingly normal human beings.
You mistake me, as most do. I don't have extensive knowledge of film or any other topic, hence my current tagline. What I do have is very broad knowledge about a lot of what to me are very interesting things. I cover an area three miles wide but one inch deep. If one of the pieces of useless knowledge gets bumped into I haul it out and sound profound. Most people do this. I have just collected more useless knowledge about more topics than is the norm. But expertise or extensive knowledge? Hardly.
I was really sincere when I said I envied you. That sort of opportunity would have been neat and the questions you got to ask were probably above average, witness the SAG comment (not many would have touched on that... did you go so far as to touch on Patty Duke's tenure as head of SAG?)
