Can you name all these classic TV stars in The Flying Nun?
Do you recognize these character actors, famous sitcom faces and future household names?
After Sally Field’s beloved but short-lived Gidget was canceled after one season, it wasn’t long before another show scooped up the talented teen actor. In 1967, The Flying Nun was the latest entry in a trend of Sixties sitcoms with far-out premises: witches and genies caught on, but talking cars? Not so much.
The Flying Nun ran for three seasons, ending in 1970. Airing the last three years of the 1960s meant it could capitalize on a variety of guest stars – up-and-coming actors who would later break out in the Seventies, former child stars from early Sixties sitcoms and even fan-favorite TV hosts and comedians from the time.
