Sadly Regis died July 24 at the age of 88. He was in the next-to-last PERRY MASON TV-Movie THE CASE OF THE TELL-TALE TALK SHOW HOST. He played a reporter in an ep of THE BIG VALLEY. (It was a small part.) The title was THE CHALLENGE with JAMES GREGORY as a politician that is an old beau of VICTORIA BARKLEY. Did you know that Regis was once the son-in-law of actor FRANK FAYLEN who played the dad HERBERT GILLIS on THE MANY LOVES OF DOBIE GILLIS?

I agree with your comment about the duets of Gordon MacRae and Jo Stafford - lovely. I love the mini musicals he did on his radio show The Railroad Hour.Jacqueline T.

He did a BROADWAY musical with opera songs(I believe). I think he has a beautiful voice. He and CRYSTAL GAYLE recorded some duets including a new theme song to ANOTHER WORLD. He recorded WIND BENEATH MY WINGS which is one of his most popular songs. He also acted on THE COLBYS which had a great cast-CHARLTON HESTON, RICARDO MONTALBAN, JOSEPH CAMPANELLA and one of our favorites MISS BARBARA STANWYCK.

I'm not sure if I like it or it is merely self-preservation when he puts it on a loop.
