Martha Curnutt
This story has haunted my memory since I first heard it. I am fascinated by family history and while watching one of my favorite shows about celebrities doing their genealogy, I couldn’t take my eyes off the screen during one particular episode about Cynthia Nixon. She knew nothing about her father’s side of the family but would soon find out that there were skeletons in their closet that ultimately led to major prison reform around the country.

Gig Young and Albert Salmi's tragic lives and deaths
Thanks to MeTV and other television stations that run TV series from the 1950s, 60s, and 70s, baby boomers (those born between 1948 and 1964) are able to enjoy their favorite programs from those eras. Seeing the popular actors from those decades has led to many internet searches to find out what happened to the entertainers in later years. Two familiar faces from the early days of network television are Gig Young and Albert Salmi. You may not recall the names but recognize their characters as you watch reruns. Both men appeared on THE TWILIGHT ZONE as well as other memorable shows.
