Unlike Ed Fury, a former career as a scantily-clad physique model didn't hamper Glenn Corbett's quest for Hollywood fame. If he never became a superstar, he did become a welcome fixture on television and drive-in screens from the 1960's through the 1980's. Corbett's highest-profile gig came when he replaced an "ailing" George Maharis on the hit series, Route 66 in 1963.
Other notable appearances included a role in the cult film, Homicidal (1961), and a recurring role on Dallas (1983-1984; 1986-1988). Glenn Corbett passed away in 1993 from lung cancer.

Dray -- We are going out for cocktails SOON, mister, and I want to hear all of these stories you've been teasing us with!
ReplyDeleteEmma -- I know. I don't know what it is about those 50's and 60's hotties, but they make me want to extend my eyeliner, backcomb my hair and hang out by the bleachers after school.
