Other works
Unsold pilot: Produced a pilot for a proposed NBC dramatic series called Grand Hotel (1964). It starred Barry Fitzgerald and Chad Everett, the main reason why the pilot did not sell was that Barry Fitzgerald died in January 1961, between completion of the pilot and when NBC made the pickup decision, the year after the pilot was produced, but before the post-production was completed in early 1961.
