      They had the greatest chemistry i had ever seen in those Polaroid commercials. I, like many back then thought that they were actually married to each other

    I loved her in the 2 Columbo episodes she appeared , one with Jack Cassidy and Mickey Spillane “Publish or Perish” (1974) and another with Ruth Gordon “ Try and Catch Me”(1977)
    Simply a beautiful lady !

    Mariette Hartley is a gem. I was always happy to see her appear in a tv show. The Polaroid commercials with James Garner were always a joy to watch, almost like a very short recurrent sitcom. She was just so charming in her first Gunsmoke episode, ''Cotter's Girl'' that it became my favorite episode of the whole long running series. Beautiful and talented woman. Thank you for this documentary Mr. Skinner.

  • @karenleemallonee684
    @karenleemallonee684 Před 2 lety +15

    I remember a lot of her career, but It mostly begins with the commercials with Mr. Garner & Goodnight Bean Town. My favorite roll of hers was in a movie of the week, MADD - Mother's Against Drunk Drivers, I think it was early to mid 1980's. It put that organization on the map, everyone knew about them!!! Sad to say that in 1989 I lost my oldest son to a drunk driver, He was 7 1/2.
    She is just lovely, and it's nice to know she is doing well!!! Thank you, Mr. Skinner. 🌼

    I met her when I worked in a hotel gift shop. She sat and chatted with myself and another girl. Delightful and fun. I wish I could tell her that I DID recognize her, but it's my habit that celebrities are just people, too.

    She was and still is my favorite actress From when I was nine years old. My entire family used to watch all of them T.V. Shows in which she appeared. Needless to say that watching her, was special to us as if we were watching a family member on screen. Remembering the Kodak/ Polaroid commercials with her and James Garner, brought back great memories of my childhood. The two of them were favorites of my family. We always enjoyed watching them on the t.v.. She brought Joy into our loves, whether it was in Bonanza, Star Trek or any other show. The same goes for James Garner, he was a member of our family through the courtesy of the television who brought these great actors into our lives every week.. Thanks for the memories.

    You selected a wonderful actress and human being for this piece Jerry. I did not know of so much sadness while growing up. I have watched her from Bonanza and on. To think how wrong her grandfather was with his ideas. She is an ideal person to talk about "mental illness" and I admire her courage. Yesterday we lost Naomi Judd to this terrible and sad illness. Mariette is a person to be admired and I hope she has lots of love around her and knows what a great person she is. God bless her and keep her safe. Loved this video as I so much enjoy everyone you do Jerry. You too stay safe and be blessed. Elizabeth C.

    Thanks again Mr Skinner. I remember the episode where she was on Star Trek. I also remember the commercials for Polaroid with her and James Garner. There was definitely chemistry between them in those commercials. And I always thought it wasn't really just all acting that they honestly were more than just two people coming into film a commercial but honestly liked each other as people.

    Jerry, I understand that you couldn't name all of her episodes of various shows, but she was also on Little House On The Prairie (& was as beautiful as ever!!) & Columbo. She may have done an episode of Murder She Wrote, but not positive.🤔
    I very much appreciate her work with the suicide association. I've lost a few family/friends through that tragic way. 😢
