A nursing job at a television studio wasn’t just another nursing job — and producer Judah Raymond discovered Amy wasn’t just another nurse…
What was it that was different about producer Judah Raymond so that when he kissed her, Amy felt shaken and moved in a way she never felt before?
Young, eligible Bill Hendricks had been left behind along with Summerville when Amy decided to come to New York. And her new job as a staff nurse at Universal Television had plunged her into a life of excitement and confusion. She thought she’d left her problems behind her — only now she had some she never dreamed of…
Who does producer Judah Raymond remind you of? I can’t quite place him.
He’s like equal parts Burt Reynolds and John Astin, with a little Jack Cassidy circa The Eiger Sanction.
He also looks like about 90% of the guys who Danno booked. Maria is our resident Hawaii Five-O scholar. Maybe she can help.

Nooooo, no, no: you’ve got it all wrong. He’s 100%…um…darn. What’s his name? He was on a 70′s-early 80′s T.V. show, had a deep, silky voice, and sang, night-club style. Help me out here, people. I somehow got “Hal Holbrook” stuck in my head, and can’t think of anyone else’s name until he decides to leave.
I spent so much time searching IMDB’s list of Love Boat guest-stars for this elusive actor’s name that I think I just missed Christmas.
Good heavens, who WASN’T on that show?
Grettir, this is random, but I feel like it’s something I need to share with you. By the back door of my family’s home, we have a couple of maps with the Rand McNally logo displayed. Almost every time I pass the maps I hear your voice in my head saying “Wait ’till Rand McNally hears about this!” Was this Brigadoon, possibly?
Oh! And Merry Christmas!
Robert Goulet? (Bless his departed soul.)
Natalie: Yep, it’s from Act 1, Scene 1:
And even though I’ve played the part of Jeff at least a half-dozen times, I’ve never once nailed that line. In my defense, it’s hard to get a laugh out of cartography.
Jenny and Lisa: Excellent suggestions, but not quite.
And “Robert” sounds so formal, Lisa. To those of us who knew him best, he’ll always be “Bobby” Goulet.
I’ve decided that I’m most likely thinking of Hal Linden. In my opinion, he’s a much closer match than either Jack Cassidy or Burt Reynolds. And John Astin’s just too geeky. I keep picturing him in “Freaky Friday” w/Dick Van Patten, standing on that silly sinking platform at the water-skiing extravaganza…
I’m with you on this one Jenny. It’s Hal Linden. I immediately thought “Barney Miller” when I saw the cover. I once saw him on his own TV special. He sang a song from a Broadway musical about the Rothschilds. He had quite a voice and I remember the song as poignant. Who knew Barney could sing?
Apparently I did, way back in the cobwebby corners of my subconscious. (See initial, vague entry. At least I got the “Hal” right…)
That last post sounded very self-satisfied. It’s not. It’s just that I get so little right nowadays, each victory must be celebrated to the utmost. I’m working my way from “half-empty” to “half-full,” under duress and against my better judgment.
Happy New Year Grettir!
I haven’t been able to come up with a better alternative, so…Hal Linden, it is!
And Happy New Year to you, too, Robyn!
