Easy! Mary Tyler Moore! She was using only her first and last name. She was fired after revealing that she was "Sam" (I've read her autobiography). You can easily tell by her unmistakeable voice.
No, Dick Powell originally played "Richard Diamond" on radio from 1949 through '52. He also owned the series; when he told his wife June Allyson in early 1957 that he was thinking of casting David Janssen in a Four Star TV version of the program, she thought David was all wrong for the part. Powell knew "star quality", though- Janssen might not have matched Dick's wisecracking persona as "Diamond" on the radio, but he was tough, nevertheless.
@trossk Lol I realize this reply is a bit late... but the answer is no. This is not the guy from the radio show, the radio show was done by Dick Powell.
When does Barry Morse show up?? Only joking!

And now, a pop quiz to end all pop quizzes.
Which television icon 'appeared' in this program? (Hint...she was using only two names at the time).
