The series was hosted by actress June Allyson[1] and was a Four Star-Pamric Production.[citation needed] Allyson sometimes starred in episodes, one of which ("A Summer's Ending") was her first appearance on TV with her husband, Dick Powell.[2]
Aaron Spelling was the producer.[2] Paul Henreid, James Neilson, and Jack Smight were directors.[3] Richard Levinson and William Link were writers for the program.[4]
Allyson took offense when critics dismissed the program with comments that included comparing its episodes to contents of women's fiction magazines. "Any show that stars a woman just naturally seems to be called a soap opera, whether it is or not", she said.[5]
