Great Gals
Stand-up dames and the eyes lucky enough
to have them
| The Stand-up Gal | The Lucky Guy | |
| Beth Davenport | Jim Rockford by Roy Huggins and Stephen J. Cannell |
Jim's lawyer, pal, and off/on love-interest. "Hi, Beth? Could you come bail me out? I'm in jail." |
| Nora Charles | Nick Charles by Dashiell Hammett |
Wife, confidante, drinking buddy. |
| Merle Osborn | Max Thursday by Wade Miller |
Max's sometime lover and full-time friend, she's a crime reporter for The San Diego Sentinel, a trashy tabloid big on crime covereage. |
| Peggy | Joe Mannix by William Link and Richard Levinson |
Peggy was a young widow with an young son who worked as Joe's secretary and assistant. Come on! I'll bet these two were getting it on, and CBS was afraid of the reaction an interracial affair would provoke. |
| Peggy | John Marshall Tanner by Stephen Greenleaf |
Like Mannix, Marsh's long-suffering secretary was called Peggy. |
