One thought on “December 23rd – Newest Page – James Whitmore Movies”
I first knew James Whitmore, from a shortlived detective series My Friend Tony back in 1969, and then from the comedy series Temperature’s Rising starring Cleavon Little and featuring Jane Van Ark. When ABC cancelled the Paul Lynde show that season , they gutted the cast of Temperature except for Cleavon and a young nurse, putting Paul in charge of the hospital. It was dumped in mid-season.
James is # 734 on the Oracle of Bacon top 1000 and # 278 of the 1970’s. These are the actors on the 2021 list he appeared with.
