Click the below link for Stephen Bowie’s fascinating, in-depth look at the cult 1960s sci-fi TV series, The Invaders. This was the show about the invasion of the Earth by aliens who have blended into the human race. Their only trait that gives them away is their deformed pinky finger. Roy Thinnes played architect David Vincent, the lone man who knows they are here and tries to convince the population of their existence.
Not only does Stephen provide an historical look at the making of the series with interviews with some of the surviving producers and writers, but he also offers a critical review of some of the episodes. I kept reading with bated breath wondering what he thought of actress Carol Lynley’s guest star turn in “The Believers” from the show’s second season. This was a pivotal episode as David Vincent finally found others who also believe of the aliens presence. As I had hoped, Stephen too felt this episode is one of the series best and praised Lynley for giving “an excellent performance” as Elyse Reynolds a pretty psychologist Vincent meets when captured by the aliens. Is she actually aiding Vincent or working against him? Lynley’s expert performance keeps the audience guessing right to the end.

Readers of my Blog know that in the past I have expounded on the acting talents of that tasty titan-haired temptress Tina Louise. Prior to playing Ginger on Gilligan’s Island, she was a extremely respected dramatic actress who even studied at the Actors Studio. The below video is just another example where she gets to display those acting chops. Tina gives an expertly understated performance as a secretary obsessed with her boss, who she would do anything to protect, in this 1964 episode of Kraft Suspense Theatre. She is reunited with her God’s Little Acre co-star Aldo Ray as the boss and has a sexy chemistry with suave Clu Gulager as an insurance investigator. Her last scene is quite creepy. Incidentally, the blonde in it is Ellen McRae who morphed into Ellen Burstyn during the Seventies.
One wonders if Ms. Louise had not gotten stranded on the island of Gilligan what motion picture roles she would have scored during the Sixties. She easily could have essayed roles played by Stella Stevens or even Raquel Welch. And Tina would have made a hell of a better Tiffany Case in the James Bond adventure Diamonds Are Forever than the shrill Jill St. John.
