Ross Martin [Artemus Gordon of the Wild Wild West TV show fame] is one of the many hoods that show up to Ann Sothern's apartment. And Rita Shaw who plays Mrs. McCauley, was one of the great character actresses, and among many roles on stage and film, and TV, appeared as the cook in the 1964 movie classic by Disney, the original "Mary Poppins." Always thought she was hysterical and a good sport, and had made many TV commercials. one of those actresses when you saw her you thought, there's that funny lady, I've seen her many times...
I was surprised to learn that Ann Sothern, nee Harriet Lake, was the granddaughter of Spartacus Lake, inventor of the lake, America's third favorite body of water. It explains why she was so eager to appear in 'The Whales of August'. I had always thought it was due to her weight gain.

Very funny episode and I just love it
Even George O'Hanlon was in it! The star of the Joe McDoakes shorts and the voice of George Jetson.
I love this show! Mrs. McCauley was a crack up...she played the snooty biddy perfectly!
She played the cook in the 1964 Mary Poppins
Great episode, with great stars -

Mrs. Beldon is played by Sylvia Field who was Mrs. Wilson on "Dennis The Menace." I recognized her by her voice...
And she’s the wife of the actor who played Katy’s boss, Ernest Truex (who would soon be replaced by her “Private Secretary” boss, Don Porter).
The ever love able Rita Shaw 🥰
Rita was a stage veteran, film and Tv and commercials....we all grew up appreciating her talent, she was a total hoot.
Just like Hollywood reminds me of high school break up then quickly a new partner many times over. “WHEW” oy vey
