13/15 Missed #1 and 11.
13/15. I was too quick on the draw on #11. I forgot that Roberts was also on Gunsmoke. I guessed wrong on #15. I never saw that TV movie.
Same score as me and I missed the Pernell Robert’s question too.
I missed #11 thinking they meant actors as regulars.
That question seemed to throw a lot of people. Tricky. 🙂
7/15. 😡
