  • Wow! For years I thought they hired an actress who looked and acted like Carole King! i had no idea it was her!! And i was the prez of MTM's fan club for 15 years!

  • Actually, she was billed under her married name (At the time) Carole Larkey (Her hubsand is her bassist, Charles Larkey).

  • This was a "bit role" for Carole (as "Aunt Helen"), as she didn't receive "Special Guest Star" billing in the episode. Even I wasn't aware it was HER until this posting, and I first saw this way back in March 1975!

  • She was billed as Carole Larkey (Her hubsand is Charles Larkey, her bass player at the time).

    I know about that after I read a gossip column shortly after the episode aired.

  • Also, something that people have touched on here is true - the older white-headed woman at the beginning - Mabel Albertson, Darrin's mother on Bewitched - was Cloris Leachman's real-life mother-in-law. Cloris was married to George Englund, who was Mabel Albertson's son. Mabel was also Jack Albertson's sister. And her grandson, Cloris Leachman's son, dated Sharon Stone.

    Hollywood must be a small world.

  • What on earth could be the reason for having Carole King do a guest-shot on the show? Must be related to, or friends of, one of the producers, or something. This was after "Tapestry", so it's not like she needed the work.

  • @fromthesidelines I must have had the same reaction, that I thought it looked like her, but didn't think it was. I'm glad this aired long before I had the chance to meet Carole back in February 2004 (at an event here in Atlanta, GA when she came and campaigned for John Kerry.) I think I would have been so embarrassed if I had seen that episode back then in 1975, after meeting her and not recognized it was her.

  • @fromthesidelines That's so funny I forgot to laugh. :-(

  • @fromthesidelines OK, I'll bite. Remembering the year I can understand, but how can you possibly remember it was March?

  • @michaeljohndudley Never knew she was Jacks sister. thanks

  • Laurence Luckenbill with the mustache? Husband of Lucie Arnez.

  • Wow..I've also seen this episode dozens of times and never knew it was Carole King. She's quite a decent actress too.

  • You might want to know that Mabel Albertson, who played the old lady in this and also played Samantha's mother in law on bewitched was Cloris Leachman's mother-in-law in real life. She was also the sister of Jack Albertson, movie actor and TV star of Chico and the man.

  • @luvbearbut Sorry I meant Darrin Stevens....
