Killing Lincoln

[Laurie Verge]

No, they always dub the big-wigs in later. Same thing with Robert Stack. They did a show on us for his series Unsolved Mysteries, and then he was added in back in California. That one was a big production of several days with dressing room trailers, make-up trailers, caterers, and the whole schmeer.

I have learned so much about filming, proper lighting, gels that create proper lighting and shadows, sound systems etc. Maybe in my next vocation... It has also been an education to watch the cameras shrink in size over the years. In the 1970s, they were monsters that sat on tripods. Now, they are small things that the crew carry on their shoulders.

There was one show, That's Incredible, where the hosts actually were on set. Cathy Lee Crosby is the only one I remember because she was in the process of taking Redskins quarterback Joe Theisman away from his wife at the time. John Somebody (a singer) was another host, and a fading quarterback was the other. Any one remember who the men were?
