As a little boy, I loved watching Mr. Pritchett play noble Dr. Matt Powers. Another class act has crossed over. RIP, James!
I loved this show.He was a wonderful actor to watch and that show had so many great actors, Elizabeth Hubbard was one. that’s when TV offered quality instead of quantity.My condolences to his family and mr. pritchett, thank you for wonderful memories!!!!
Watching the show in reruns now, late ’60’s, Mr. Prichett was quite a warm as well as strong presence and his “Maggie,” Bethel Leslie was captivating. What a lovely man and actor.
