TV Picture Life Interview with Bill Bixby
Here is a really cool 1964 Bill Bixby interviewthat is from a 1964 issue of TV PICTURE LIFE MAGAZINE. The interview is a brief one but it is interesting in the fact that it is a dual interview with Bixby and his MY FAVORITE MARTIAN co-star Ray Walston. (BTW - MFM was one of the best sitcoms ever devised) Here is a brief excerpt from the interview.
"I’ve learned more in one season about acting, from watching Ray, than from everything else I’ve ever done. I work with him every day-- I watch--gradually, I come to know what he’s going to do, why he picks out certain things to work on. He works and studies with much depth. He does a lot of probing and searching during rehearsal. When he gets up before the cameras, all the burden is gone"
I'll be looking for more rare Bixby interviews and will let you know what I find. (Yes, I was/am a huge fan of the late Mr. Bixby)
