Myrna Fahey (March 12, 1933 – May 6, 1973) was an American actress known for her role as Maria Crespo in Walt Disney’s Zorro and as Madeline Usher in The Fall of the House of Usher.
She appeared in episodes of 37 television series from the 1950s into the 1970s, including Bonanza, Wagon Train, The Time Tunnel with Robert Colbert, Maverick with James Garner, 77 Sunset Strip with Efrem Zimbalist Jr., Laramie, Gunsmoke with James Arness, The Adventures of Superman with George Reeves, Kraft Suspense Theatre, Daniel Boone with Fess Parker, Perry Mason with Raymond Burr, and Batman with Adam West and Burt Ward.Biography[edit]
Fahey was born in Carmel, Maine, near Bangor in 1933, and grew up in Southwest Harbor near Bar Harbor, Maine, where she was a cheerleader at Pemetic High School. She began competing in local beauty pageants in the early 1950s.[1] She acted one season at the Pasadena Playhouse before breaking into TV, and became an avid skier in California. She invested in stocks and one of her contracts stipulated that she have a stock ticker in her dressing room. In addition to dating baseball player Joe DiMaggio, she dated actor George Hamilton.[2]
Fahey became the subject of death threats while dating baseball great Joe DiMaggio in 1964. The FBI determined the threats came from a patient at the Agnews Developmental Center, a mental hospital in San Jose, California. Apparently the patient could not bear to see DiMaggio with anyone other than Marilyn Monroe, who died in 1962.
Fahey died on May 6, 1973, at age 40, at St. John’s Hospital in Santa Monica, after a long battle with cancer. She is buried in Mt. Pleasant Cemetery in Bangor, Maine.[3]
The first Perry Mason novel, The Case of The Velvet Claws, published in 1933, had sold twenty-eight million copies in its first fifteen years. In the mid-1950s, the Perry Mason novels were selling at the rate of twenty thousand copies a day. ’Perry Mason’ The Case of the Gambling Lady (1965) S08E26 Watch online Download Subtitles Player: 8.3: 1: ’Perry Mason’ The Case of the Duplicate Case (1965) S08E27 Watch online Download Subtitles Player: 8.6: 1: ’Perry Mason’ The Case of the Grinning Gorilla (1965) S08E28 Watch online Download Subtitles Player: 8.3.

Fahey complained in a 1960 interview that she was being typecast in ’good girl’ roles because of what directors called her ’moral overtones,’ even though she wanted to play darker and more complicated characters.[4] She had worked in many Westerns in the late 1950s, usually in the role of the sheriff’s daughter, including an appearance on Gunsmoke in 1958 (an episode entitled: ’Innocent Broad’). She also appeared in a supporting role in ’Duel at Sundown’, a notable episode of Maverick with James Garner, featuring Clint Eastwood as a trigger-happy villain. In another appearance in ‘‘Maverick’’ she starred as Dee Cooper, the owner of a cattle ranch, in conflict with Maverick’s herd of sheep. She starred in two episodes of Wagon Train, ’The Jane Hawkins Story’ (1960) and ’The Melanie Craig Story’ (1964), and an episode of Straightaway, ’Troubleshooter,’ in 1961. Her image branched out in the 1960s, helped by House of Usher and a role on the Boris Karloff-hosted TV series Thriller that same year entitled ’Girl With A Secret.’ Even her Western parts became ’darker.’ After a rough love scene in the 1960 episode of Bonanza ’Breed of Violence’, in which she cut her lip, the cast presented her with an award for ’Best Slapper in a Filmed Series.’[5]
Fahey’s most sustained television work was a starring role in the one-season (1961–62) series Father of the Bride, based on a film of the same name starring Spencer Tracy and Elizabeth Taylor.[6] Fahey likely got the role because, as one newspaper reviewer pointed out, she ’looks enough like Liz Taylor to be her sister.’[7] Fahey was not flattered by the comparison, however, telling one interviewer ’the fact that I’m supposed to look like Elizabeth Whats-Her-Name had nothing to do with my getting [the part], because we don’t really look alike I don’t think, we just happen to have the same colorings.’[8] Fahey wanted to be released from the show even before it came up for renewal, reportedly feeling too much emphasis was being placed on the ’father’ character and not enough on her ’bride.’[9] She also portrayed Jennifer Ivers on the TV version of Peyton Place.[6]:828-829
Fahey made four guest appearances on the drama series Perry Mason: Lydia Logan in the 1960 episode, ’The Case of the Nimble Nephew’; defendant Grace Halley in the 1961 episode ’The Case of the Violent Vest’; murder victim Myra Warren in the 1965 episode ’The Case of the Gambling Lady’; and defendant Holly Andrews in the 1966 episode ’The Case of the Midnight Howler’. In 1966, she played Blaze in the Batman episodes ’True or False-Face’ and ’Holy Rat Race’.References[edit]

Joseph Peter Breck (March 13, 1929 – February 6, 2012) was an American character actor. The rugged, dark-haired Breck played the gambler and gunfighterDoc Holliday on the ABC/Warner Bros. Television series Maverick as well as Victoria Barkley’s (Barbara Stanwyck) hot-tempered, middle son Nick in the 1960s ABC/Four StarWestern, The Big Valley. Breck also had the starring role in an earlier NBC/Four Star Western television series entitled Black Saddle. Willow creek casino bethlehem.Early years[edit]
Joseph Peter Breck was born in Rochester, New York. He grew up living with his grandparents in Haverhill, Massachusetts, because they felt they could provide a more stable home environment than his father, who often traveled as a jazz musician. He attended the University of Houston, where he studied English and drama.[1]Family[edit]
Breck was the son of bandleader Joe Breck, who was nicknamed ’The Prince of Pep’, and whose band once included trombone player Jerry Colonna.[2] His parents divorced when Peter was eight. Peter went with Joe, while his younger brother George accompanied their mother, resulting in a decades-long separation.[2] In 1959 an Associated Press photograph showed the brothers reunited after being out of touch for 22 years. The caption explained: ’George told newsmen he saw Peter on television and recognized a resemblance. He went to the actor’s studio and the relationship was confirmed.’[3]Career[edit]Perry Mason The Case Of The Gambling Lady Imdb CastEarly career[edit]
After post-World War II United States Navy service in the 1940s on the aircraft carrierUSS Franklin D. Roosevelt(CV-42), Breck played professional basketball for the Rochester Royals during the 1948-49 season. He then worked as a ranch hand while studying drama at the University of Houston, and went on to make his on-screen debut in a 1958 film that was eventually released under the title The Beatniks.Perry Mason The Case Of The Gambling Lady Imdb Free
As well as performing in live theatre, Breck had several guest-starring roles on a number of popular series, such as Sea Hunt, several episodes of Wagon Train, Have Gun – Will Travel, Perry Mason and Gunsmoke. In 1956, he and David Janssen appeared in John Bromfield’s syndicated series Sheriff of Cochise in the episode entitled ’The Turkey Farmers’. He appeared in another syndicated series too in the episode ’The Deserter’ of the American Civil War drama Gray Ghost, with Tod Andrews in the title role.
When Robert Mitchum saw Breck in George Bernard Shaw’s play The Man of Destiny in Washington, D.C., he offered Breck a role as a rival driver in Thunder Road (1958). Mitchum helped Breck to relocate to Los Angeles, California. As Breck then did not have his own car, Mitchum lent him his Jaguar.[4] Mitchum introduced Breck to Dick Powell who contracted him to Four Star Productions where Breck appeared in the CBS western anthology series, Dick Powell’s Zane Grey Theater.
Breck appeared with fellow guest star Diane Brewster in the 1958 episode ’The Lady Gambler’ of the ABC western series, Tombstone Territory, starring Pat Conway and Richard Eastham. That same year, Breck appeared in an episode of the syndicated Highway Patrol, starring Broderick Crawford. He was also cast in an episode of NBC’s The Restless Gun, starring John Payne. He appeared in a 1958 episode of ’Gunsmoke’ playing the role of murder suspect, Hoyt Fly, a cowboy working a Texas cattle drive. That same year, Breck played the role of bad guy in an episode of Wagon Train, ’The Story of Tobias Jones’, opposite Lou Costello.
From January 1959 to May 1960 Breck starred as Clay Culhane, the gunfighter-turned-lawyer in the ABC western Black Saddle, with secondary roles for Russell Johnson, Anna-Lisa, J. Pat O’Malley and Walter Burke. Unlike in The Big Valley, in which Breck played an easily angered rancher, he is low-key, restrained and considerate as the lawyer Culhane.
Breck was later a contract star with Warner Bros. Television, where he appeared as Doc Holliday on Maverick,[5] a part that had been played twice earlier in the series by Gerald Mohr and by Adam West on ABC’s Lawman. Breck appeared in several other ABC/WB series of the time, such as Cheyenne, 77 Sunset Strip, The Roaring Twenties (as trumpet player Joe Peabody in the episode ’Big Town Blues’), and The Gallant Men. He was cast as a young Theodore Roosevelt in the 1961 episode ’The Yankee Tornado’ of the ABC/WB Western series, Bronco, starring Ty Hardin. ’The Yankee Tornado’ features Will Hutchins of the ABC/WB Western series Sugarfoot in a crossover appearance.[citation needed]
Breck’s first starring role in a film was Lad, A Dog (1962).[6] The next year, he played the leading roles in both Samuel Fuller’s Shock Corridor and the science fiction horror film The Crawling Hand. He also costarred in the cavalry movie, The Glory Guys. Between 1963 and 1965 Breck made three guest appearances on Perry Mason, including the roles of defendant William Sherwood in the 1964 episode, ’The Case of the Antic Angel’, and defendant Peter Warren in the 1965 episode, ’The Case of the Gambling Lady’. During this time, he appeared on episodes of such television series as Mr. Novak, The Outer Limits, Bonanza[citation needed]and The Virginian.[7][8]
Breck claimed to have been considered for leads on two successful television series produced by Quinn MartinThe Fugitive (1963) and 12 O’Clock High (1964) with Breck commenting that ’If you are a leading man in Hollywood you either draw $250,000 like Steve McQueen or you had better be in a series’.[9]The Big Valley[edit]The Big Valley cast with Breck at far right
From 1965 to 1969, Breck starred on The Big Valley as Nick Barkley, foreman of the Barkley ranch and son to Barbara Stanwyck’s character, Victoria Barkley. The second of four children, Nick was hotheaded, short-tempered, and very fast with a gun. Always spoiling for a fight and frequently wearing leather gloves, Breck’s character took the slightest offense to the Barkley name personally and quickly made his displeasure known, as often with his fists as with his vociferous shouts. Often this proved to be a mistake and only through the calming influence of his mother and cooler-headed siblings, Jarrod (Richard Long), half-brother Heath (Lee Majors), sister Audra (Linda Evans) and Eugene (Charles Briles; written out after season 1 when he was drafted into the Army), would a difficult situation be rectified. Having been a Barbara Stanwyck admirer since the 1940s, when he was a teenager, Breck developed an on- and off-screen chemistry with her, practicing longer lines and even being a ranch foreman on the set. After the series was canceled, he stayed close to her until her death.After The Big Valley[edit]
In 1970 he appeared as Lafe Harkness on the TV western ’The Men From Shiloh’ (rebranded name for The Virginian) in the episode titled ’Hannah.’ Most of his roles in the 1970s and 1980s were television guest-starring performances on such series as Alias Smith and Jones, Mission: Impossible, McMillan & Wife, S.W.A.T., The Six Million Dollar Man (again with Lee Majors), The Incredible Hulk and The Dukes of Hazzard, as well as roles as himself on Fantasy Island, and The Fall Guy Santa ynez casino buffet. which also starred former television ’brother’ Lee Majors.
In the mid-1980s, Breck moved to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, with his wife Diane and their son, Christopher. He was asked by a casting director to teach a weekly class to young actors on film technique. That once-a-week class became a full-time acting school - The Breck Academy - which he operated for 10 years. In 1990, Breck appeared in the Canadian cult film Terminal City Ricochet.
On January 20, 1990, while teaching at the drama school, Breck was notified of Barbara Stanwyck’s death. She requested no funeral nor memorial.
In 1991, he appeared as Sham-Ir, the chief of all genies, in the NBC-TV movie special I Still Dream of Jeannie, the second reunion film which reunited I Dream of Jeannie TV series co-stars Barbara Eden and Bill Daily, along with Al Waxman and Ken Kercheval.
In the movie The Unnamable II: The Statement of Randolph Carter (1993), Breck played Sheriff Hatch.
In 1996, he appeared in an episode of the new version of The Outer Limits.
Breck provided the voice of Farmer Brown in ’Critters’, a 1998 episode of The New Batman Adventures.[10]
His last television performance was on an episode of John Doe in 2002. Prior to his death, most of his film performances have been in undistributed films that are shown only at film festivals.Personal life[edit]
Breck married dancer Diane Bourne in 1960.[note 1] They had a son, Christopher, who died of leukemia.[1]Death[edit]Perry Mason The Case Of The Gambling Lady Imdb
In June 2010 Breck’s wife Diane announced on his website that the actor had been suffering from dementia and could no longer sign autographs for fans, although she said that he still read and enjoyed their letters. Despite this diagnosis, she said he was still physically healthy and did not require medication.[11]

From January 1959 to May 1960 Breck starred as Clay Culhane, the gunfighter-turned-lawyer in the ABC western Black Saddle, with secondary roles for Russell Johnson, Anna-Lisa, J. Pat O’Malley and Walter Burke. Unlike in The Big Valley, in which Breck played an easily angered rancher, he is low-key, restrained and considerate as the lawyer Culhane.
Breck was later a contract star with Warner Bros. Television, where he appeared as Doc Holliday on Maverick,[5] a part that had been played twice earlier in the series by Gerald Mohr and by Adam West on ABC’s Lawman. Breck appeared in several other ABC/WB series of the time, such as Cheyenne, 77 Sunset Strip, The Roaring Twenties (as trumpet player Joe Peabody in the episode ’Big Town Blues’), and The Gallant Men. He was cast as a young Theodore Roosevelt in the 1961 episode ’The Yankee Tornado’ of the ABC/WB Western series, Bronco, starring Ty Hardin. ’The Yankee Tornado’ features Will Hutchins of the ABC/WB Western series Sugarfoot in a crossover appearance.[citation needed]
Breck’s first starring role in a film was Lad, A Dog (1962).[6] The next year, he played the leading roles in both Samuel Fuller’s Shock Corridor and the science fiction horror film The Crawling Hand. He also costarred in the cavalry movie, The Glory Guys. Between 1963 and 1965 Breck made three guest appearances on Perry Mason, including the roles of defendant William Sherwood in the 1964 episode, ’The Case of the Antic Angel’, and defendant Peter Warren in the 1965 episode, ’The Case of the Gambling Lady’. During this time, he appeared on episodes of such television series as Mr. Novak, The Outer Limits, Bonanza[citation needed]and The Virginian.[7][8]
Breck claimed to have been considered for leads on two successful television series produced by Quinn MartinThe Fugitive (1963) and 12 O’Clock High (1964) with Breck commenting that ’If you are a leading man in Hollywood you either draw $250,000 like Steve McQueen or you had better be in a series’.[9]The Big Valley[edit]The Big Valley cast with Breck at far right
From 1965 to 1969, Breck starred on The Big Valley as Nick Barkley, foreman of the Barkley ranch and son to Barbara Stanwyck’s character, Victoria Barkley. The second of four children, Nick was hotheaded, short-tempered, and very fast with a gun. Always spoiling for a fight and frequently wearing leather gloves, Breck’s character took the slightest offense to the Barkley name personally and quickly made his displeasure known, as often with his fists as with his vociferous shouts. Often this proved to be a mistake and only through the calming influence of his mother and cooler-headed siblings, Jarrod (Richard Long), half-brother Heath (Lee Majors), sister Audra (Linda Evans) and Eugene (Charles Briles; written out after season 1 when he was drafted into the Army), would a difficult situation be rectified. Having been a Barbara Stanwyck admirer since the 1940s, when he was a teenager, Breck developed an on- and off-screen chemistry with her, practicing longer lines and even being a ranch foreman on the set. After the series was canceled, he stayed close to her until her death.After The Big Valley[edit]
In 1970 he appeared as Lafe Harkness on the TV western ’The Men From Shiloh’ (rebranded name for The Virginian) in the episode titled ’Hannah.’ Most of his roles in the 1970s and 1980s were television guest-starring performances on such series as Alias Smith and Jones, Mission: Impossible, McMillan & Wife, S.W.A.T., The Six Million Dollar Man (again with Lee Majors), The Incredible Hulk and The Dukes of Hazzard, as well as roles as himself on Fantasy Island, and The Fall Guy Santa ynez casino buffet. which also starred former television ’brother’ Lee Majors.
In the mid-1980s, Breck moved to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, with his wife Diane and their son, Christopher. He was asked by a casting director to teach a weekly class to young actors on film technique. That once-a-week class became a full-time acting school - The Breck Academy - which he operated for 10 years. In 1990, Breck appeared in the Canadian cult film Terminal City Ricochet.
On January 20, 1990, while teaching at the drama school, Breck was notified of Barbara Stanwyck’s death. She requested no funeral nor memorial.
In 1991, he appeared as Sham-Ir, the chief of all genies, in the NBC-TV movie special I Still Dream of Jeannie, the second reunion film which reunited I Dream of Jeannie TV series co-stars Barbara Eden and Bill Daily, along with Al Waxman and Ken Kercheval.
