The pilot episode also had Richard Deacon and Sue Randall in different roles; they weren't Mr. Rutherford and Miss Landers. It's pretty surreal to watch.

I believe she was talking about Jim Arnaz in gunsmoke and the female was Miss Kitty (amanda blake). Other than that she has a very sharp memory. Barbara, you're the best!

Is she saying at the 24:15 mark that Buddy Ebsen was the first choice to play Ward Cleaver? Or is she referring to another project? She says she lost her husband and got the LITB script 6 months later. But at the time she mentions Ebsen she's just been asked how she got the LITB role.
