The show that did WHAT?
Started my writing career.
“Did not!”
“Did so!”
“Did not!”
“Did so! Really.” Let me tell you about it.
It was September of 1964 and I was 11 years old…
That was the year that my favorite TV show, The Man From U.N.C.L.E., debuted…and my writing career began.
Already “boy crazy,” I fell head-over-heals for Napoleon Solo the moment I saw him. It was infatuation at first sight! He was the hero of this exciting new secret agent series.
The Man From U.N.C.L.E. was one of those shows that you never missed. If you missed it, you had just one more time to see that episode when it was repeated during the summer. There was no syndication; no video recordings. You and your television set had a date that could not be broken – same time, same station – each week. If you missed it, you REALLY missed it!
Little did anyone know in those days that a passion to write would come alive in me through that show. Oh, I have never written a screenplay that has actually been used. However, I have written many stories and articles as a hobby, and then career, ever since.
*Napoleon Solo in the original TV series was played by Robert Vaughn and Illya Kuryachin was portrayed by David McCallum (He is well known today as Ducky on NCIS.)
And now, let’s view the trailer of the exciting NEW Man From U.N.C.L.E.!
Enjoy!
