Robert Redford. And I think the guy's name is Holliman, John Holliman
but I might be confusing him with the recently deceased CNN reporter. It
was the episode where he's wandering into a town which is totally
abandoned - not a person in sight, yet all this evidence of their very
recent presence - hot cups of coffee in a diner, cigars still lit and
smoking in ashtrays. Central vehicle is a precursor to _Altered States_ it
turns out the guy's an astronaut in a deprivation tank experiment.
Anyway. Him. and others I'm sure...

Off the top of my head, there's also Kevin McCarthy, Anne Francis, James Best,
Jean Marsh, Richard Kiel, and James Whitmore (that WAS him in "On Thursday We
Leave for Home," wasn't it?).
Wasn't Martin Landau in an episode?

Donna Douglas.(Off the top of my head,memorized from Zicree's book...
she was in an episode where standards of beauty were different from
hours,and represented failed plastic surgery for a character otherwise
played by another actress whose face was covered by bandages.They had
hired the other actress only for her voice,and Douglas only for her
face,planning to dub the voice...except the other actress managed,
despite the constraints,to perform with more than her voice,and Douglas,
who had observed the other actress's performance,was able to do the
voice herself without being dubbed...sounds like they were both
short-changed).

It was a comedy and not very good.
Carol Burnett played a character named Agnes. Jesse White
was her guardian angel.

Suzanne Cupito was a child actress who later returned to showbiz as an
adult under the name Morgan Brittany,which she plucked out of a novel
she read on an airplane.(I first saw her in the telefilm THE INITIATION
OF SARAH,her costars including Morgan Fairchild,who I also saw for the
first time...I considered both names obviously assumed...and yes,the
other Morgan was born Patsy McClenny).

Russell Johnson (the Professor from Gilligan's Island) is alive and well. He
has done a lot of voice-over work, mainly for many of HBO's "America
Undercover" specials.
Richard Kiel played "Jaws" in two James Bond movies.

I dunno. Maybe it's because this was a thread about still-living TZ actors,
and Meredith is dead?

Add to these ,the beautiful Inger Stevens ,who starred in the episode about

If this is meant as an addition to the list of TZ actors still alive, Martin
doesn't count. He died in August, 1980.

"Despite"? Probably it's more like "because of."
Last I heard, which was a couple of months ago, Schallert was in Canada
shooting the PATTY DUKE SHOW reunion.

Among the TZ actors who have passed on, I don't think I've seen any mention
yet of Dick York...didn't he play the guy who flipped a coin into the newstand
cash box, it landed on its edge, and he could read minds all day, until the
coin fell over at the end of the day? York, of course, went on to become best
known as the first "Darrin" on "Bewitched"...

How about Jack Klugman and Jonathan Winters? I simply remembered them
playing the pool table against each other. Some are still alive and
some are still dead. Burgess Meredith, the sole survivor of the nuclear
holocaust who wore the glasses and at the end, he dropped and broke his
glasses and he can't see, that is the end, passed away one year ago. If
Rod Serling is alive today, it would have been much different and more
scaring movies.
I remember watching on PBS long time ago that Rod Serling suffered a
heart attack on the surgery and he passed away.

Jack Klugman had the lead in four episodes. One of my favorite
episodes was "Miniature," with Robert Duvall. AFAIK both are alive.
I'm sure there are many others who played leading roles that no one's
mentioned here, and lots more who played secondary roles. After all,
we're talking about several hundred actors here.

You had to be around then. It wasn't just a plot device. For years, THE
TWILIGHT ZONE was sponsored by Chesterfield cigarettes, so Serling used the
product in his narration, and TZ wasn't shy about showing characters
smoking, either. After every episode, but before the final credits, there'd
be a commercial of some band in a tobacco field marching up and down the
rows. The marching music contained the lyrics, "21 great tobaccos make 20
wonderful Kings. Chesterfields, they satisfy."
Serling died on the operating table during a bypass operation at the
beginning of July 1975, IIRC. No easier way to go.
