...life." That led Templeton to the further discovery that he had an electric touch with religious audiences, and he went off to spend three years on the sawdust trail as an itinerant preacher for the fundamentalist Church of the Nazarene. In California he met and married a Hollywood starlet named Constance Orozco...

...Hunter Show (NBC), opening this week, demonstrates once again that Tab's acting range pretty much consists of a capacity to inhale and exhale through his seemingly polyethylene eye balls. As Paul Morgan, a Malibu Beach cartoonist, he is felled by one sandy starlet after another, but the word on the beach is that the whole thing is phony abalone...

But, more subtly, Nichols and May deal in slightly distorted reproductions of accurate sounds, and the effect, which depends upon audience recognition, is subcutaneous.

Sahl still spends much of his life in motor cars (he owns three); once a friend borrowed his Lincoln and found in it a huge pile of magazines, dirty laundry and $5,000 in cash. He dates beautiful women sporadically (Actresses Nancy Olsen, Haya Hayareet), has almost outgrown the starlet stage and has outlived a two-year romance with Actress Phyllis Kirk. Sometimes he prefers the company of carhops and waitresses ("Yes, I've worked that beat, too").
