What Peter Graves said about Sam Elliott.

After watching Peter Graves and his daughter Amanda in that old TV commercial posted by Lima, a few days ago, I decided to read through my old copy of “The Complete Mission Impossible Dossier” by Patrick J. White.
I found this wonderful quote from Peter Graves on page 282 about Sam Elliott: “Peter Graves remembers Sam as a ‘wonderful, big puppy dog’ who got along well with the company. ‘He hadn’t done much,’ Graves adds, ‘but he was this big, rugged, good-looking guy. I thought at the time that it might be a good idea to bring in somebody fresh, and this guy looked like a good bet. The idea was to have another male character to function as we needed him.’ “
A fascinating look back.

Way cool, Klondike! Were there any quotes from Barbara Bain or any about Barbara Bain?

I did not know that Barbara Boxer was ever on Classic Mission Impossible! Was she one of the season 4 female IMF Agents of the week?

@mechajutaro: I have a question for you. Did you see the very disturbing post Nexus71 made on Friday morning on the Star Trek "The I'm a doctor, not a ______ thread"? Please get back to me ASAP as it really freaked me out. Thanks.

Oh, I forgot to ask you, which episode is the one that Barbara Boxer played the guest villain in?

Okay. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. May I suggest that you and I never mention the matter again? I probably sound paranoid, but that whole thing bothered me.

Sorry about the duplicate post. The edit function started working again 10 minutes ago but it's not working now.
