Leta Powell Drake Interview with Ed Nelson and Rory Calhoun 

I met Ed Nelson in restaurant in San Diego and he was pretty cool and he was way down to earth and I was his waiter I told him about Peyton place and everything he said oh you're too young to remember all that I said no I was like 4 or 5 years old watch Peyton place with my mom but he was a real gentleman he gave me good tip.

One thing I find surprising about Ed - he was married to the same woman all his life.

Ed Nelson was the 'consummate' actor! Great in so many shows!

I love Ed and Rory ♥️♥️

just saw rory Calhoun in an episode of wagon train on youtube. legendary actor.

oh, they both look wonderful!!!

Dang it. I missed this interview.🤩😁. Of course Rest In Peace, Ms. Drake.

What I would not give to sit next to these to gentlemen!

Martin Short was surely channeling this woman in doing his Jiminy Glick routine. . . . Embarrassingly fawning all over Rory Calhoun, praising "Capitol" co-star Richard Egan's Jesuit priest brother, whom she didn't know is dead -- resulting in awkward "dead air," repeatedly touching Ed Nelson's leg. My God. Her interviews are a time capsule to the '70s and '80s; fun to watch, "a kick." But sometimes she truly becomes a female Jiminy Glick. I'm surprised her producer and/or director didn't "rein her in" a bit. Wouldn't it be great to be a fly on the wall at the "Capitol" set the next day and hear Constance Towers, Richard Egan, Deborah Mullowney (Farentino), Ed Nelson et al reminisce on their "interviews" with this character? Elsewhere via RU-vid I watched her John Hillerman interviews during "Magnum, p.i."'s heyday whereupon she asked him the same line of questions, year(s) apart!

Capitol was similar to Murder She Wrote in the sense that a lot of its main regulars were yesteryear movie contract players.

Dr. Rossi of Peyton place 😃

Rory so thin. 😱🤩‼️

Seems like so many of these great actors of their generation died from emphysema aka COPD. Everyone smoked. Sad!

Kinda sexy boss lady interviewer.

terrible interviewer
