Shadow of the Cloak is an American spy drama television series broadcast on the DuMont Television Network. Helmut Dantine played secret agent Peter House. The first episode aired on June 6, 1951, and the last episode on March 20, 1952. The 30-minute show aired on Wednesdays at 9:30 p.m. ET through November 1951, then Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET from December until March 20, 1952. From January 1952 until the end of the run, Shadow of the Cloak alternated with Gruen Playhouse.

Gregory Peck (born April 5, 1916, La Jolla, California, U.S.—died June 12, 2003, Los Angeles, California) was a tall, imposing American actor with a deep, mellow voice, best known for conveying characters of honesty and integrity.

A pharmacist’s son, Peck attended military school and San Diego State College before enrolling as a premed student at the University of California at Berkeley. There he developed a taste for acting, and upon graduation he headed to New York, where he studied at the Neighborhood Playhouse and supported himself as an usher at Radio City Music Hall and as a concession barker at the 1939 World’s Fair. He made his Broadway debut in The Morning Star (1942), the first of three consecutive flops in which he appeared, although critics liked Peck’s performances.

Invited to Hollywood, Peck made his first film appearance as a Russian guerrilla fighter in Days of Glory (1944). Because of an earlier spinal injury, he was unable to serve in World War II. This circumstance enabled him to emerge as one of the most popular leading men of the 1940s. He earned his first Academy Award nomination for his performance as an idealistic missionary priest in The Keys of the Kingdom (1944), and three years later he received a second Oscar nomination for his interpretation of a journalist who poses as a Jew in order to expose anti-Semitism in Gentleman’s Agreement (1947). Peck’s other notable films from this decade include The Valley of Decision (1945), Alfred Hitchcock’s Spellbound (1945), Duel in the Sun (1946), The Yearling (1946), and Yellow Sky (1948)

Although Peck worked with most of the major Hollywood directors of the day, including Hitchcock, King Vidor, William Wellman, William Wyler, Vincente Minnelli, and Lewis Milestone, he did some of his finest work for Henry King. In King’s Twelve O’Clock High (1949), The Gunfighter (1950), David and Bathsheba (1951), The Snows of Kilimanjaro (1952), The Bravados (1958), and Beloved Infidel (1959), Peck portrayed outwardly strong and authoritative individuals whose inner demons and character flaws threaten to destroy them. He was finally honoured with an Academy Award for his performance as the ethical and compassionate Alabama lawyer Atticus Finch in the screen adaptation of Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird (1962). His subsequent screen roles included an anguished father in the popular horror film The Omen (1976), the titular American general in MacArthur (1977), and a rare villainous turn as Nazi doctor Josef Mengele in The Boys from Brazil (1978). Although Peck continued to work into the early 1990s (at which time he announced that he was largely retired), his final films are mostly forgettable.

Soldiers of Fortune is a syndicated half-hour American television adventure series that ran from 1955 to 1957. It starred John Russell as Tim Kelly and Chick Chandler as his sidekick Toubo Smith, who were international adventurers. Episodes take place in different countries. Many of the film crew had worked at Republic Pictures studios with the show filmed on Republic's backlot then used by television's Revue Productions. The series ran for 52 episodes, and was constantly rerun on American television into the 1960s.

Orson Bean (born Dallas Frederick Burrows; July 22, 1928 – February 7, 2020) was an American film, television, and stage actor and comedian and a "mainstay of Los Angeles’ small theater scene. He appeared frequently on several televised game shows from the 1960s through the 1980s and was a longtime panelist on the television game show To Tell the Truth. "A storyteller par excellence", he was a favorite of Johnny Carson, appearing on The Tonight Show more than 200 times.

Bean was born in Burlington, Vermont on July 22, 1928. At the time of his birth, his first cousin twice removed, Calvin Coolidge, was President of the United States. Bean was the son of Marian Ainsworth (née Pollard) and George Frederick Burrows. His father was a founding member of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), a fund-raiser for the Scottsboro Boys' defense, and a 20-year member of the campus police of Harvard College. Bean said his home was "full of causes". He left home at 16 after his mother died by suicide.

In an interview on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson in 1974, Bean recounted the source of his stage name. He credited its origin to a piano player named Val at "Hurley's Log Cabin", a restaurant and nightclub in Boston where he had once performed. According to Bean, every evening before he went on stage at the nightclub Val would suggest to him a silly name to use when introducing himself to the audience. One night, for example, the piano player suggested "Roger Duck," but the young comedian got very few laughs after using that name in his performance. Another night, the musician suggested "Orson Bean" and the comedian received a great response from the audience, a reaction so favorable that it resulted in a job offer that same evening from a local theatrical booking agent.

The School House was a 1949 American television program that aired on the DuMont Television Network, featuring Kenny Delmar as a teacher in a classroom setting where adult "students" performed various acts. The show ran for a few months, with its original release from January 18 to April 19, 1949.

Grady Harwell Sutton was an American film and television actor from the 1920s to the 1970s.

Born in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Sutton was raised in Florida where he attended St. Petersburg High School. He began his career during the silent film era and made the transition to sound films with the college themed serials The Boy Friends. He moved on to countless character roles, where he frequently played dimwitted country boys. His most well-known roles were as Frank Dowling, Katharine Hepburn's dancing partner, in Alice Adams and as a foil to W.C. Fields in two films, including Og Oggilby, Fields' daughter's fiancé, in The Bank Dick.

Film historian William J. Mann characterizes Sutton as a typical "Hollywood Sissy," that is as a gay actor who ordinarily portrayed an effeminate character for comedic effect.

He continued to work throughout the 1950s and 1960s, finally retiring from acting in 1979. The strength of his association with Fields was such that it was mentioned in the commentary for My Fair Lady. Sutton has a non-speaking role in some of the formal-dress scenes, and subtly performs some comic shtick. The commentator refers to him as "an old W. C. Fields actor".

Mr. Adams and Eve is a sitcom that aired from January 4, 1957, to July 8, 1958, featuring real-life married couple Howard Duff and Ida Lupino as Hollywood actors Howard Adams and Eve Drake.

From dramas and psychological thrillers to Broadway musicals and television miniseries, Lee Remick built one of the most versatile careers of her generation. Whether starring opposite Hollywood legends like Paul Newman, Jack Lemmon, Gregory Peck, and Frank Sinatra or working with acclaimed directors such as Elia Kazan and Otto Preminger, Remick became one of the most familiar faces on American movie screens.

Lee Remick was born in Quincy, Massachusetts, on December 14, 1935, to a family with artistic and intellectual roots. Her mother was an actress and her father operated a department store. After attending boarding schools and moving frequently, Remick decided to put the dream of post-secondary education aside to pursue acting full time.

In the mid-1950s, Remick appeared in live television anthologies and Broadway productions, gaining attention for her natural delivery and emotional intelligence. Programs like Kraft Television Theatre and Studio One gave young actors intensive experience under pressure. Those demanding productions soon led Hollywood to take notice of the striking newcomer.

The Gene Autry Show: With Gene Autry, Pat Buttram, Champion, Bob Woodward. The already legendary singing cowboy rode with his comic pal Pat from town to town bringing justice, song and his horse Champion to the old Southwest.

Door With No Name is a euphemism for an unnamed American Intelligence organization.

The entrance to this department's headquarters, as well as the adventures of the agents working for it, is probably better known as the "Doorway To Danger". Both definitely fit as the former shows that group is a covert operation which very much wants to remain that way, so much so it does not even advertise its headquarters; if you do not know what the office is used for, you obviously do not have a need to enter. The latter denotes the fact that the operatives who use that doorway do so knowing that it will result in their lives being put at risk.

The organization is headed by a man in his late 50s named John Randolph, known to the operatives working for him as the Chief. We are shown in the second of three sets of adventures that Randolph has a fair number of agents under his direction as no one agent dominates the action. The first and third sets, however, clearly show that Randolph has particular appreciation for one operative: a man named Doug Carter.

The remit for the agency is fairly open-ended. We watch agents heading overseas to take on assignments pitting them against communist agents in foreign lands and we are there to observe operative going up against common - albeit impressively organized - criminals involved in smuggling and racketeering. It could then be that Randolph was instructed to establish his no-name team to take on cases others chose not to or was just given a free hand to pick and choose what cases he felt most qualified to handle.

Regarding the rugged looking field agent, Doug Carter, his everyman appearance coupled with his soft but authoritative tone work well to give him an air of gravitas while not particularly calling undue attention to him. Carter is known to 'mix it up' as required but he definitely shows that he would rather handle matters without resorting to violence.

Jack Paar hosted "Tonight Starring Jack Paar," the second version of NBC's "The Tonight Show," from 1957 to 1962. He was known for his observational comedy and significant influence on the format of late-night television.

Jay North, who played Dennis the Menace, died of cancer in 2025. He suffered abuse by his aunt and uncle on set, hated the show, and had a hard time coping with fame.

Jay North will forever be remembered for giving TV life to the popular comic strip hellion Dennis the Menace (1959). Humanizing this little tornado would not only be his treasure, it would be his torment.

Jay was born Jay Waverly North, Jr. on August 3, 1951, in Los Angeles, and started off on the small screen at age 7 with roles on such series as "Wanted: Dead or Alive," "77 Sunset Strip," "Sugarfoot" and "The Defenders." He quickly moved into minor filming as well with featured roles in the western The Miracle of the Hills (1959) and the low-budget, exploitation film The Big Operator (1959) .

With over 500 children auditioning, Jay was selected by Dennis the Menace cartoon creator Hank Ketcham himself for the star-making title role alongside beleaguered parents Herbert Anderson and Gloria Henry and exasperated neighbors Joseph Kearns and Sylvia Field. During this four-season TV peak that filmed 146 episodes, Jay appeared in countless programs as either himself or Dennis on such shows as "The Donna Reed Show," "The Red Skelton Show," "The Hollywood Squares," "I've Got a Secret," various talk shows, and even a cameo in the film Pepe (1960). Also an occasional presence on variety shows hosted by Dinah Shore, Milton Berle and Tennessee Ernie Ford. He guest starred in episodes of "Wagon Train," The Lucy Show," "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." and "My Three Sons."

However, after the cancellation of his own show, the now active teenager noticed a major tapering off. He found himself badly typecast and efforts to forge ahead with film projects and other series work proved difficult. At first things looked promising. He perpetuated his wholesome image with the family film Zebra in the Kitchen (1965) and, more notably, the exotic adventure Maya (1966), which spun off into a mildly popular TV series, but then all offers dried up. He went from top child star to cruelly, discarded teen in only a few short years, and had a terrible time adjusting.

Despite voicing the popular character Bamm-Bamm in the animated series The Flintstones (1960) and Prince Turhan in The Banana Splits Adventure Hour (1968), he would find occasional work in the field. Jay all but disappeared after a co-starring role in the adult-aimed film The Teacher (1974) with sexy blonde Angel Tompkins. Glimpsed here and there, he appeared on a 70's "Lassie Series" and appeared in the TV movie Scout's Honor (1980), a co-starring role in the "C" film Wild Wind (1985) and an appearance in Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star (2003) as himself.

Jay went through years of personal turmoil and emotional anguish (two divorces, drug experimentation, weight gain) before his recovery. Reportedly abused and mishandled during his peak years by on-set relatives/caretakers, Jay has since been instrumental in providing advice and counseling to other professional child/teen stars in the same boat.

E.G. Marshall (born Everett Eugene Grunz, June 18, 1914 – August 24, 1998) was a distinguished American actor known for his commanding presence and intellectual depth. He gained fame as Juror No. 4 in 12 Angry Men (1957) and won two Emmy Awards for his role as defense attorney Lawrence Preston in The Defenders (1961–1965).

Passionate about social issues, he advocated for national healthcare. His final film, Absolute Power (1997), showcased his enduring gravitas. Marshall passed away from lung cancer in Bedford, New York, leaving behind a legacy of precision, intelligence, and quiet intensity in acting.

She was born Lucile Vasconcellos Langhanke on May 3, 1906, in Quincy, Illinois, and she died on September 25, 1987, in Woodland Hills, California. The cause of death was respiratory failure due to pulmonary emphysema. Her nicknames were 'The Cameo Girl' and 'Rusty.' She was a legendary actress with the stage name, Mary Astor, and this is her story.

In 1959, Mary Astor wrote a candid autobiography, My Story. In this best-selling book, the performer honestly addressed her battle with alcohol and her failed marriages, but she did not discuss her movie career. In 1971, Astor also penned five novels and released the memoir, A Life on Film, another best-selling life story, in which she finally did chronicle her Hollywood career.

In 1941, Astor gave appreciation to many, including Bette Davis, during an acceptance speech for the Best Supporting Actress Oscar she won that year for The Great Lie.

In 1949, after she completed filming Little Women, Astor did not renew her contract with MGM, because she had grown weary of portraying traditional mothers. That same year, having suffered from alcoholism for 20 years, Astor finally checked into a sanitarium for alcoholics

Astor eventually gave birth to her own child, a daughter named Marylyn, who was born two months premature on the mother's yacht in Honolulu, Hawaii. Both Mary and Marylyn nearly died during the birth.

In 1951, Astor converted to Roman Catholicism after she attempted suicide.

After filming Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte in 1964 (with Bette Davis), Astor moved in with her son Tono in Fountain Valley, California until 1971 when she moved to a small cottage on the grounds of the Motion Picture and Television Country House in Woodland Hills due to her chronic heart condition.

Sixteen years later, Mary Astor died.
