I was very sad to hear of the 4th July passing of the legendary film/TV producer, British-born Norman Felton. He was 99. As Executive Producer through his ARENA company, he helped bring the iconic four year running MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. TV series (and it's GIRL FROM U.N.C.L.E. spin-off), developed by Sam Rolfe (and which made above pictured Robert Vaughn and David McCallum international stars and household names), to production reality for MGM from 1965-1968. It's a show that I've always loved and enjoyed, and one that I'm happy to say remains as popular and enduring as ever with audiences in worldwide DVD sales and repeats. And let's also not forget another iconic sixties TV series Felton produced, either: the Richard Chamberlain starring medical drama Dr. KILDARE, nor the many successful TV movies he lent his considerable talents to, including the cult Leonard Nimoy starring, early seventies psychic mystery movie, BAFFLED!
