[about working on
Sky King (1951)] The relationship [with series star
Kirby Grant] lasted all our lives. Kirby was the ultimate. He was serious about seeing things done right, but he also had a sense of humor. We did personal appearances together. Kirby sang . . . and I was a singer, so we did a solo and a number together and traveled all around, even after the series ended.
Ewing Mitchell, who played the sheriff, had a ranch near our home in Rancho Santa Fe, CA. He'd ride in the parades every New Year's Day. Everybody was a huge tease. They'd pull all kinds of tricks. I was the victim and I loved it.
