Classic line: "Maybe your Daddy told you my oil well looks good, huh?"

Trivia: MIKE "TOUCH" CONNORS was most recognizable via his TV series Mannix. His real name is KREKER OHANIAN, so "Touch" doesn't sound so bad after all. You might have seen him as a thug in H01-THE DAY THE WORLD ENDED. Some of his other films: 1952-Sudden Fear; 1956-The Ten Commandments; 1964-Good Neighbor Sam (with Jack Lemmon); Where Love Has Gone (with Susan Hayward and Bette Davis); 1965-Harlow; 1966-Stagecoach; 1967-Kiss the Girls and Make Them Die; 1985-Too Scared to Scream; and 1988-Fist Fighter.

Born Emily Marie Bertelson in 1922, MARIE WINDSOR appeared in 76 movies and made over 130 TV appearances. Before her performing career, she was Miss Utah and a Vargas model. She was the rare exception to the rule: she acted in both A-pictures as well as the B's, and was not typecast like most actresses of her era. Marie says she still has no intentions of retiring from acting. Her other films include: 1947's Song of the Thin Man (with William Powell and Myrna Loy); 1948's The Three Musketeers (with Vincent Price); 1949's The Fighting Kentuckian (the first of her three films with John Wayne); 1950's Dakota Lil; 1951's The Narrow Margin; 1952's film noir classic The Narrow Margin; 1954's awful 3-D Cat-Women of the Moon; 1955's Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy; 1956's The Killing (directed by the legendary Stanley Kubrick); 1957's The Girl in Black Stockings (with Mamie Van Doren); 1963's The Day Mars Invaded Earth; 1971's Support Your Local Gunfighter (with James Garner); and 1979's Salem's Lot (with James Mason).
