And among those later roles is a great Columbo episode ("Requiem for A Falling Star") with a guest spot from Baxter's friend Edith Head (and from Heads' Oscar statues). The two became close during the production of The Ten Commandments.
Remembering Anne Baxter on her birthday. A great star of classic Hollywood, Baxter was not only beautiful & talented but also shrewd & tenacious about her career & longevity. She embraced the medium of television & created a long & prolific second act in meaty character roles.

"Tom Wright is interesting in that he doesn’t use any single artistic form. He paints in abstracts, impressionism, and almost still-life realism.” — Rod Serling on Night Gallery's prolific in-house artist, Tom Wright

This is a fascinating video from @TVTimeMachine about what happened to the paintings from Rod Serling's @TheNightGallery series. Such a shame that so many of those paintings were lost, but that book cataloguing them sounds intriguing and essential! youtube.com/watch?v=rUAAFFQw…

James Cameron on the time he got to hang out with Stanley Kubrick and all Kubrick wanted to talk about was how awesome TRUE LIES is. So good.

Barbara Rush is best remembered for "It Came From Outer Space" and "Peyton Place." But when the news broke on March 31 that she'd died at age 97, I thought first of her starring role in "Cool Air," adapted by Rod Serling for Night Gallery: thenightgallery.wordpress.co… RIP, Barbara.

"I really got into this one; it's a very moody painting with a lot of depth in the woods and strange images to study. As I was painting, I could almost hear the wolves howling." — Tom Wright on his painting for Night Gallery's "The Phantom Farmhouse"

"I had seen an entire generation changed for the better by Rod Serling." — John Astin Sure, he's best known as Gomez Addams, but the star of one Twilight Zone episode also starred in and directed several Night Gallery episodes. A toast to the 94-year-old legend on his birthday!
