Older and Dirtier Every Day: Murray Hamilton in Summer Girl

1983 TV movie "Summer Girl" cast Murray Hamilton as the alcoholic neighbor who was not afraid of being a dirty old man. Just listen to the video clip below this terribly low-resolution screen capture.

Older and dirtier every day. Murray at 60. TV movie queen Kim Darby versus the young nanny -- everyone loves the sexy young nanny and can't see that she's up to no good. Kim Darby's TV movie husband (the ever-hunky Barry Bostwick) and kids think it's pregnant Kim Darby who has the problem. One of those kind of TV movies. Need a better quality copy for screen shots. Murray Hamilton on screen in shorts was kind of a rarity.

Route 66: The Swan Bed with a lot of Murray Hamilton

 The third episode of Route 66, "The Swan Bed," featured a lot of Murray Hamilton close-ups. 

Buz and Tod are in New Orleans. Tod befriends a 15-year-old Zina Bethune.  In the debut episode he befriended a 15-year-old Patty McCormack. Not a good trend, Stiles. 

A bird virus has broken out. Buz finds a female friend he used to know, but now she's an exotic dancer... with birds! She falls ill, and it all ties together with a fancy bed. Murray Hamilton as the public health doctor.

Meanwhile Tod auditions for Musical Youth. 

Before he was Officer Jerry Woods on Adam-12, Fred Stromsoe kept showing up on Route 66. 

At the cemetery, Murray gets some close-ups.

FYI His role as J. Hugh Kilbourne in the Drowning Pool amuses me like no other:

Back to 1960:

Cannon Pilot Movie, March 1971

Actor Murray Hamilton appeared in three episodes of "Cannon," including the two-hour pilot. In the pilot, he had a beard and really played up the "hound dog" (as Cannon puts it) accent.

The pilot film aired on CBS, March 26, 1971 and was filmed in New Mexico. Murray Hamilton played "Virgil Holley." 

Many familiar faces in the "Cannon" pilot, including Vera Miles, J.D. Cannon, Earl Holliman, Barry Sullivan, and Linda Day George.

Some entertainment unrelated to the actors:

One more Murray for the road.
