TBN runs snippets of his reading the Bible - nice!

When I was a teenager, my favorite TV show was "77 Sunset Strip" featuring Efrem Zimbalist, Roger Smith and Ed "Kookie" Byrnes.

* I forgot to mention Roscoe the street-wise gambler. I have often wished that it would turn up on a cable re-run channel like TVland.

You can’t play Sousa without a Zimbalist who is up on his game...

Very little patriotic music is complete without the work of a competent Zimbalist!

[presently no screen name]

Jesus will be coming back before then so I won't have to get that old

YES! Me too! Jesus is the REAL Hope and Change!

He was on the old Maverick show a few times as Dandy Jim Buckley.

I had a 1970 Red Javelin. It turned out to be a lemon. But I did enjoy the car for the first few years. I don’t think it was the SST.

We liked the AMC dealer in Moorhead, MN and my parents bought their first Rambler (station wagon) in 1960. It was the first new car they owned. At that time you could go to the plant in Kenosha, Wisconsin and pick up your car. Ours was not ready, but the dealer liked my parents-so he paid them $100.00 and train fare to go to Kenosha and pick up two cars for him. Needless to say, we were loyal customers for 30 years.

Kind of insulting it took the FBI so long to give it to him. Should have happened decades ago.

He also played a pretty good bad guy on Babylon 5. Trying to save humanity from the coming telepath war.

Glad I saw your post. Efrem Zimbalist, Jr. is a great actor. He is still handsome after all these years. : )

I loved everything he did on television, including The F.B.I.

It’s worth it to have enjoyed those shows back in the day, isn’t it??? : )

Remember the Kookiemobile?

Now THAT was a hot rod!

Stepahnie did a great movie years ago called “Caroline?” It was fantastic and I have never seen her look so beautiful!

[Kirkwood]

Holy smokes. I didn’t realize he was still with us.

His Father - Concert Violinist Efrem Zimbalist

Very talented family.

[Tax-chick]

I’ll bet that’s really neat. I remember from the commercials he’s done that he has a wonderful voice - as so many actors of his generation did.

[AFreeBird]

And apparently, (according to her bio on IMDB.com) Stephanie wrote the definitive biography of Mozart, that’s never been out of print.

I know what you mean, the funny thing is, I was sifting through my mp3 files and saw the FBI theme music and played it, and thought to myself "wonder what Efrem Zimbalist Jr is up to, hopefully still alive?", I did a Google on him and lo and behold, it was yesterday he received that award from the FBI, and I was surprised it hadn't been posted on FR, so here we are, lol
