Hi Ryan
On 2/22/2015 8:56 PM, Ryan Ellett asked:
I don't actually see any reference to Alland or this series (Doorway To
Life).
Can anyone comment on whether this was an embellishment of his work or an
honor he actually received?
I can definitely confirm that Alland was one of the writers for the
series, based on credits given in the programs in my collection. The
producer was William N. Robeson. The series did win some awards, but I
don't know if he personally did.
Hope this helps.
Jerry

Subject: Mary Bennett
Can anyone out there identify Mary Bennett, the Lipton Tea Lady on Inner
Sanctum as a real character? I have never been able to find any other acting
credit for her, and it seems unlikely she was simply a Lipton employee, with
such skilled repartee with "Mr. Host"!

We had him at a SPERDVAC meeting where he spoke about Doorway
to Live.
Also I looked him up in the Goldin Index.
