Subject Author Date I remember as a child, Lois Nettleson was in an episode of a show called Medical Center. I was very young., maybe 4-5. She played a lesbian and they actually said the word on TV. I had never heard that word before so I asked my mom what it meant. She said it was a "girl who likes girls." So, of course, a few weeks later at a family reunion, I was walking around and calling every female there a lesbian, even my Nana, because I knew they all liked girls. In a different way , of course, but my 4 year old brain did not know that part, lol (NT) No name (241.sub-174-216-4.myvzw.com/174.216.4.241) 13:38:22 10/05/25 Sun Miss Kansas changed her name to Vera Miles. There already was a Vera Ralston in the movies. (NT) -- no name, 16:15:11 10/05/25 Sun (ip72-220-130-86.sd.sd.cox.net/72.220.130.86) Vera Miles was in a lot of Disney films (NT) -- No name, 20:58:59 10/05/25 Sun (syn-035-150-243-219.res.spectrum.com/35.150.243.219) Wonderful story! If I remember correctly, Lois Nettleton was in a Twilight Zone episode where she was in a situation when the earth became increasingly hot. I forgot what eventually happened to her character. (NT) -- no name, 16:18:24 10/05/25 Sun (ip72-220-130-86.sd.sd.cox.net/72.220.130.86) I always thought she was very attractive. I wonder what she did for talent? Kind of interesting that 2 professional actresses came out of that Top 15. (NT) -- No name, 17:45:13 10/05/25 Sun (241.sub-174-216-4.myvzw.com/174.216.4.241) Loias did a dramatic monologue St. Joan (NT) -- No name, 17:30:05 10/08/25 Wed (99-166-174-42.lightspeed.miamfl.sbcglobal.net/99.166.174.42) Lois (NT) -- No name, 18:28:22 10/08/25 Wed (99-166-174-42.lightspeed.miamfl.sbcglobal.net/99.166.174.42) It also happened 2 years before that. Again, a Miss Chicago made it the s/finals. That was the esteemed actress (An Oscar for supporting) and multiple Emmys. (She held the record for wins before she died if I remember correctly. The other actress who made the top 5, as fourth runner up, was Miss Utah, Carol Ohmart an actress with Paramount Pictures. (NT) -- no name, 01:47:59 10/06/25 Mon (ip72-220-130-86.sd.sd.cox.net/72.220.130.86) Sorry, I didn't print her name: Cloris Leachman. (NT) -- previous poster, 01:55:46 10/06/25 Mon (ip72-220-130-86.sd.sd.cox.net/72.220.130.86) My friend who seems to be a Twilight Zone buff said that in that episode about the heat, it was a dream. (NT) -- That episode made me uncomfortable to say the least., 01:16:10 10/13/25 Mon (ip72-220-130-86.sd.sd.cox.net/72.220.130.86)
