SUPER SIX LIST
LEAGUE OF THEMSELVES MEMBERS
WHO APPEARED ON 'COLUMBO'
1] Edith Head
"Requiem For A Falling Star"
To no avail, the Oscar-winning costume designer tried to upgrade Lt. Columbo's look. But even the tie was a no-go.
2] Nancy Walker
"Uneasy Lies The Crown"
3] Dick Sargent
"Uneasy Lies The Crown"
4] Ron Cey
"Uneasy Lies The Crown"
The above three were all poker-playing buddies of Columbo's prime suspect who were able to vouch for him.
5] Curtis Credel
"Troubled Waters"
Of them all, Credel's televersion is different from his life in the Trueniverse. He was an actor but now is retired in Florida where he runs a used car company, but in this episode he was working as a cruise ship magician.
6] Little Richard
"Columbo And The Murder Of A Rock Star"
It was this last entry that made me realize Little Richard deserves to be inducted into the Television Crossover Hall of Fame. It was my brother AJ that spurred me into looking into his credentials for membership and I was amazed how many shows he can link together by appearing as his own televersion. So look for him to be our February 2016 candidate, whether or not I dedicate the entire year to the League of Themselves.
BCnU!
PS:
These weren't the only ones - Carole Hemingway, Jeanne Wolff, and the argument could be made for Clete Roberts as the TV anchorman. (Johnny Carson shows up on TV hosting the 'Tonight' show.)
