Re: "The Fugitive: Season 1, Volume 1" -- A Personal Review
Ms. Pleshette regarded our Mr. Janssen as a gentleman who was always concerned about and for the people he worked with. Be it fellow actors, staff, crew...he always treated everyone with respect. "That was his nature," she disclosed in Ed Robertson's IMHO brilliantly-written book, The Fugutive Recaptured.
Ms. Pleshette also disclosed how much great comic timing Mr. Janssen actually had and was hoping that, during the series, he would do something along the lines of a Cary Grant a-la Arsenic and Old Lace, where The Fugitive would find himself on some kind of jeopardy because of an oddball character's--something Dr. Kimble came across often during the four years of running--crime.
However, Mr. Quinn would not have ANY of that, believing that to deviate in any kind of comedic form would detract from the somber tone of the series itself. So, sadly, it never happened.
Yes, the two of them were longtime friends who loved each other dearly and deeply. As a result of this connection--as well as the devotion each of them had to their craft--they were able to mesh so well together.
Ms. Pleshette was a wonderful embodiment of a witty, smart, savvy, foxy, confident AND sexy woman!!!!!! And, for that, to which I say, thank you very much, she will be dearly and deeply missed.
R.I.P., girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
