60s Television

 Many good television shows came out in the sixties: Batman, I Dream of Jeanie, Bewitched, Original Star Trek, Adam-12, and, the best for last, Doctor Who. Many of these had a huge impact on the counterculture. Even to this day, those actors emerged from simple television shows to become great actors that implanted themselves onto brains of the world. Here, let me give you a snapshot back into the 60s...

Farrah Fawcet

Playing in shows such as The Flying Nun, I Dream of Jeanie, The Six Million Doller Man, and Charlie's Angels, she jumped from show to show happily. She was only on C'sA for a season before leaving, getting her sued by the producers of the show. She ended up coming back for six episodes.


Dick York

He is one of my favourite actors even in the 21st century. His father Bernard was a salesman. His mother worked as a seamstress and later operated a beauty shop. The family moved from Indiana to Chicago when he was ten.

Sean Connery

Almost everyone's favourite Bond, Sean Connery was in seven differnet James Bond movies: Diamonds are Forever, Dr. No, From Russia with Love, Goldfinger, Never Say Never Again, Thunderball, and You Only Live Twice. He's actually knighted, so that makes him automatically epic.

Vivien Leigh

America's darling Scarlet O'Hara, Vivien Leigh was in numerous movies besides Gone with the Wind, such as A Streetcar Named Desire, Ship of Fools, Anna Karenina, Caeser and Cleopatra, and The Extraordinary Seaman. Vivien Leigh and Lawrence Olivier met and fell in love while filming Fire Over England in 1937. They were both married at the time, and continued their affair until their respective spouses granted them divorces. Leigh and Olivier were married in 1940. Katharine Hepburn was one of only two witnesses.  She was also bipolar.

Mickey Rooney

In numerous movies, this beloved gentleman of theatre was one of those few greats with acting careers spanning over half a century. We all still mourn his beautiful soul passing from this world. His comic relief was huge in his Andy Hardy movies from his early acting career.
