I did the fourth season of 'The Bold Ones,' replacing John Saxon. I was Dr. Martin Cohen, David Hartman's friends. He's 6-foot-6½, I'm 5-foot-8. I asked the script lady, 'Who looks more uncomfortable walking down the hall?'

When Edward Asner appeared on "Alive And Well" in 1985 on the segment in which sweetheart Cathy Rigby very calmly explained how she overcame being anorexic, Asner and 5'3" co host Marion Ross went first. (Cathy went third.) Ross and Asner (three days later,so did Cathy and Asner) handled the situation the way they knew best,carefully balancing all sides of the "Lou Grant" cancellation so that one factor did not crowd out other factors. Great job under tough conditions!

It was the same Mr. Grant and Murray from The Mary Tyler Moore Show. In both cases I was surprised. Captain Stebing was very short, and Mr. Grant was taller, but he was also rounder, so that may have an effect on the picture.
