Trivia Edit

Nancy Kovack (pictured) makes the first of two appearances on Perry here playing Carla Rinaldi. For the past 40 years Ms. Kovack has been married to former Los Angeles Philharmonic conductor Zubin Mehta. A few years ago she re-surfaced in the news when she admitted to being bilked out of over $100K by the infamous Susan McDougal. Also, she played Annie Oakley in the 1965 Three Stooges film, The Outlaws Is Coming even though she is not listed [She is now!] in the Three Stooges trivia list on this site. Submitted by PaulDrake 33, 15 September 2009.

Following in the tradition of 1040 N. Las Palmas Avenue, the address shown in the phone book for Joseph L Rinaldi, 1416 N. La Brea, is that of the La Brea Studios where the series was filmed at the time. The studios were originally the Charlie Chaplin Studios, built in 1917. They are now the Jim Henson Studios.

Carla Rinaldi sips from a cup from the Curious Coffee Set while at a restaurant. And then Della gives Perry a cup of Java from the set. How did it end up there? Submitted by gracenote, 3/1/2011.

Sightings: In the courtroom gallery today, we see Quiet Old Man #1 and Little Old Lady #1. Read more about these favorite frequent faces. Submitted by gracenote, 3/1/2011.

Once more, Lt. Tragg (Ray Collins) is billed but does not appear. Submitted by gracenote, 3/1/2011.

Uncredited Actors: It’s another Don Anderson two-fer. At the fashion show, he’s one of the crew busily making preparations, along with a hatted Bess Flowers. You can see him behind Carla Grinaldi(and Flowers appears right before Anderson does). Later, he appears as a courtroom spectator. Submitted by gracenote, 8/5/2011.
