MEDICAL CENTER: "Impasse" - 10/1/1973, CBS
Lois Nettleton guest stars as Annie Claymor, an excellent psychiatrist who turns out to be (gasp!) a lesbian! Much preachy dialogue follows as she challenges the prejudices of her friend, series hero Joe Gannon (Chad Everett), who was romantically interested in her.
This was just before the American Psychiatric Association declassified homosexuality as a disease.
Lois Nettleton would play a lesbian again in 1986: In the classic GOLDEN GIRLS episode "Isn't It Romantic?" she plays Dorothy's former college roommate, Jean, who falls in love with Rose.

Superb actress! I first remember her from "The Midnight Sun" episode of the Twilight Zone. A Beautiful lady.

Lois Nettleton also played a lesbian in the " Isn't it Romantic" episode of Golden Girls, where she falls in live with Rose (Betty White).

She was probably the only actress willing to play the part, lol.

I loved this show and remember seeing this episode. I was in high school. The next day, it was the talk of the school. Quite a controversial subject in its day. Especially casting the very beautiful Ms. Nettleton to play the part.

This was such a good episode. Very rare if it's time and well written. Good acting, also. Just happened to watch it again after years the other day. Great series.

@cynthianaylor9514 2 года назад

Cutting edge series. You find that many series in the 70s deal with taboo topics , yes even the Waltons. Ms. Nettleton was a fantastic actress.

Go see her in an episode of the Fugitive - stunning beauty, undeniable sexiness, and excellent acting.

She also starred in a Mary Tyler Moore episode as Lou Grant’s boss who fell in love with him.

Think she was also on All That Glitters, a Norman Lear production that had a role reversal world - all women were dominating in business.

So ahead of the times. Great acting.

I’m impressed. Who else played multiple sympathetic homosexual characters in the 70s and 80s?

@stevencapsuto873 2 года назад

Martin Sheen twice in 1971 and 1972... though the first of those sympathetic characters got murdered by his boyfriend, who was less sympathetic. Sheen also played the homophobic dad in the groundbreaking coming-out TV movie CONSENTING ADULT in the 1980s. And of course, now he's on GRACE AND FRANKIE.

@Joni O'Connor It was the edgiest show in television during its run. Several episodes were pre-empted by rural American stations due to uproar over homosexual themes, child abuse, sexual abuse, and gender dysphoria. My grandma would just about knock the TV off the stand if she saw this show on in her house.

I remember this scene as a kid and had to ask my mother what a lesbian was.This episode was handled with dignity at a time when if there was a gay character on TV they were usually the butt of jokes.

@emerybayblues 10 месяцев назад

Vaguely remembered watching this as a kid, especially b/c they kissed.

She must have enjoyed playing lesbian roles. She played this role then, years later, she played a lesbian on Golden Girls.

Chad Everett was certainly a handsome man - but Lily Tomlin didn't think so.

@@carbine090909 Found The Dick Cavett Show channel on you tube has a twelve minute clip starting when Everett comes to be seated. After 6:30 m:s, the reference begins. Watching the whole things is better though, which shows that Lily is not "strident."
