  1. The $150 suit probably had something to do with it, too. Lot of money back then.

    This was just before Tom Selleck made his first of two appearances on “The Rockford Files” as Lance White. Great episodes.

  2. He kind of reminds me of Farrah Fawcett. In the sense that they were both good looking 70s actors who became known for commercials and one-off guest appearances on TV series before hitting it big.
