Mini bio about the life of actor Ted Bessell. He is most famous for playing the part of Don Hollinger on the 60's sitcom "That Girl".
You're a nice man and all that but I don't understand why you change from just hearing your nice soothing voice in the background,to having to look at you on a microphone with your headphones staring at us in a video. It's kind of unriveting. I'm curious why all of a sudden did you change from years of just here and a nice wonderful voice to now seeing you plant your face on the screen is kinda distracting. I'm just being honest so thumbs down for that
@carriebishop8568 Hi Carrie, I never really wanted to be on camera but last summer youtube demonetized my channel. I think they thought my videos were computer generated or some such nonsense. I had great success with my previous format but the imitators have nearly ruined my brand. They make videos saying Clint Eastwood and Willie Nelson are dead. I would never do that. I recently got my monetization back by appearing in my videos instead of just doing voice overs. This is very difficult for me to do, as you can tell. I am sorry I have to subject my viewers to my old mug. But it seems it's necessary. Thanks for your comment.
@@TheLifeandSadEnding Just seeing this. No apology necessary. My only gripe is the 'sad ending' momiker when, in some cases, the person had a wonderful life and the ending doesn't really matter. It's all sad isn't it when we lose someone?
@@TheLifeandSadEnding Seeing your face adds a human element.
You act as if having the narrator shown is some kind of hardship. 🤣😂🤣
@@TheLifeandSadEnding You're doing fine, and you WILL get better with practice. Just do what you need to do!
I think I will always remember him from that girl He had a very strong presence in that sitcom
I remember that girl used to be on channel 56 here in Boston back when the TV only had 13 channels.
Or something like that.
He sure did.
Disappointed they never got married
They got married, just not while the show was on.
When it ended, they were engaged.
I went to BU. Love Boston.
In the days leading up to Ted Bessell's passing in October 1996, he came to the ER at Cedars Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles complaining of chest pain. After tests, it was felt he was just having anxiety attacks, and sent home. He ultimately collapsed at home and the post-mortem revealed the aortic aneurysm. Interestingly in 2003 Jack Ritter presented with "chest pain" and at first was thought to have a heart attack but he died in the OR from an aortic dissection. Both aneurysms and dissections are very hard to diagnose unless you are actually looking specifically for them
My aunt went to the doctor's office one day because she wasn't feeling well. She took one last breath & died in his office. 😢😢❤
So its ok to send someone home after telling the person his pain is all in his head?
That Girl was my favorite show that he did. May he rest in peace.
Ted Bessell was one of my 1st crushes as a kid! He was so nice, handsome and responsible on That Girl. I told myself 'If I ever get married I want my husband to be just like Don Hollinger!'
As noted, Ted Bessell directed episodes of The Tracy Ulman Show, which featured the talented Julie Kavner. Later, on an episode of The Simpsons Julie (voicing Marge Simpson) was mentioning some handsome man and remarked in her marvelous gravely voice, "Welll...he's no Ted Bessell." I wish I could remember the exact episode and context, but I always remember the line.
I think many of us (little girls) thought that same thing.
Me too!
I grew up watching this, The Odd Couple, MASH, Dark Shadows, The Avengers, Star Trek TOS, Mission Impossible, Bewitched, Green Acres, Happy Days, etc. Amazing time to be a kid, TV wise.
That Girl was a weekly favorite!
“That Girl” - Marlo Thomas at that age was one of the most beautiful girls in television history! Absolutely gorgeous!
as a young boy....she was Hot
An excellent spokesperson for St Jude & Democrat, too!!! God Bless her.
@@JohnMichaelGunner The fact that she, as a low-life fascist, America-hating demokrat who promotes the outright murder of over a million babies every year makes me detest her to the nth degree - after knowing her and her limp-wristed husband’s despicable political affiliations, to see her trying to pretend that she cares about children makes me want to puke - hypocrisy doesn’t sink any lower - leftism is a disease, and this country will ONLY survive if true patriots like myself ( you know, people who actually LOVE this nation and her founding principles, unlike you and your filthy ilk) rid ourselves of that moral and economic rot - TRUMP 2024!!!
That girl. My favorite TV show of all time. They don't know how to make TV like that anymore. I watch That Girl all the time.❤❤
The early days of television.
My favorite show with Ted was “That Girl” with Marlo Thomas! Both Ted & Marlo added so much to the show making it one of my favorites for the entire time it was on.
So sorry to hear of his passing at such a young age - I say young age since I’m 78!
Mine too. Wish we could so back to those innocent times.😇🤗
I survived a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. Doctors all said I had only a 20% chance of living through it. I was extremely lucky.
My dad had an aortic aneurysm. He had 8 strokes before passing. That's why I'm 63 and vegan for 8 years.
❤️👍
I ENJOY SEEING ALL OF TED'S SHOW,
HE WAS TALENTED, AND ALL AMERICA BOY,
PLAYED HIS PARTS WELL.
REST IN PEACE WITH THE LORD,
THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR TALENTS AND PICTURES,
HEALING HUGS AND PRAYERS FOR HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS. ❤
Absolutely That Girl. I think it was the first episode where they rent a car and go to see her parents. To this day, that episode is hysterical. It transcends time and both actors were just phenomenal in it. He really helped to make that series great. He was a great actor.
That Girl!
And great show. He had a presence about him.
I remember his role very well.
Sorry to hear of his passing in that way. ❤
I remember him most from That Girl. Cute show. Thank you for profiling him, Steve. I never hear that much about him. Passed so young 😢
I loved him in the show That Girl. He was so funny & all the antics him & Marlo got into were just hilarious.
I hadn't realized he was on Gomer Pyle! He definitely stood out a Donald Hollinger on "That Girl."
That Girl definitely. I always find it interesting to hear of actors like him that were in supporting roles and just stalwarts of our youth and then really gone from view working behind the camera or just out of show biz.
Will always remember him from "That Girl".
"That Girl" was always fabulous viewing. Ted was the perfect beau for Marlo.
Can you imagine being an actor and being offered a tv show called me and the chimp, and thinking yeah, that sounds good!
Thanks Steve. I actually remember Me and the Chimp (I was 8) and I also remember him in Gomer Pyle. I always kind of felt sorry for him in That Girl, he was always so frustrated.
Me and the Chimp - awesome call on that !
I loved him in That Girl and Gomer Pile.
Pyle*
A very old joke I remember. as a kid. What's Brown and lies on the floor? Gomer's pile
Just finished watch all of the series "That Girl". He and Marlo were so good together.
Yes i remember him alot so thanks for telling his story. Gomer Pyle and That Girl.
One of my favourite sitcom actors. "That Girl" was also one of my favourite sitcoms, and still is.
I've never seen "Me And The Chimp" but I'd like to.
Definitely That Girl was the one I'll always remember him for but he was terrific in everything. I thought his comedic timing was fantastic. We miss you, Ted!!!
He was the perfect hire for That Girl.
yes I remember ted Bessel in gomer Pyle but I loved him in the show that girl with Marlo Thomas they were really wonderful in the show it truly is so sad that he died so young he was a wonderful actor
I remember that made for TV psychological drama about him playing the whacko sculptor "Scream, Pretty Peggy"!
That Girl and Me and the Chimp, loved those show back in the day!
I really wish "That Girl" hadn't ended the way it did. That was incredibly disappointing. Thanks for posting these videos - very informative.
I liked him when I was a kid that smile he had. ❤
I first remember him on That Girl, and on Gomer Pyle. I just grew up with him I guess. So sorry he died so young and as he did 😿❤
Hands down......That Girl!!!
I loved That Girl. Such a cute show. Marlo was always gorgeous.
I remember him in various sitcoms...always played the likeable fellow, slightly boyish looks. Who knew he was a child prodigy...we do now, thanks to your video. Thanks, Steve! (The sitcoms I saw him in when I lived in Germany were dubbed in German, so I've only heard his true voice on youtube.)
I loved him on That Girl!
For me it was THAT GIRL. I watched every episode. I loved it. My only disappointment was that Anne never had a TV wedding.
That was Marlo Thomas’ idea. She didn’t want marriage to be held up as the ultimate “prize” for women, striving to show that women can be other things besides wives and mothers.
Thank you for sharing Ted Bissell’s acting career. My favorite part he played was that of Marlo Thomas boyfriend. They were a cute modern day couple of the 60s.
Ted seemed like a great guy…I remember him so well.
Ted was such a wonderful comic actor in That Girl. He always made me laugh.
Same here
Loved him in that show!
I will always remember him on That Girl. May he rest in peace.
Ted Bessell was very good as Donald Hollinger, the nice guy & perfect boyfriend.
That girl is the only show I saw him in as I came to America in 1973 and watched all the That girl re-runs..
Steve, I for one am happy to have a face to go with the fabulous voice. And you look good. Keep it up.
Wow, thanks!
I liked him in "Scream, Pretty Peggy"-one of my faves from my childhood.
Loved Ted on Gomer Pyle and That Girl! He had a great sense of fashion taste in That Girl!
His fashion sense was due to the wardrobe department.
I am familiar with aortic aneurysm I was diagnosed with the exact same thing only I was lucky and was able to shrink mine away before it got out of hand. I always enjoy research into these it's really amazing. Thanks again for an excellent show.
I have an aortic aneurysm. Never heard you can shrink them.
That Girl was my favorite one he star in.
That girl ❤
I as a teen loved his character on that girl
Growing up really enjoyed the character of Donald on That Girl
To this day I still watch, "That Girl" always enjoy the clever ways in which they introduced that girl. Marlo Thomas was cutie. What I liked about Bessell is at least for me, always looked like he was acting, and yet I enjoyed his work.
That aortic aneurysm is something, my neighbor's wife died from it no warning.
He was very likable and funny.
I loved Ted Bessel I've always had such a crush on him. I loved him in That Girl. He was too good for that scattered brain Ann Marie.
I remember him on THE MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW.
"I love you, Joe!" "Thanks."
It was disorienting, for me.
-- wait! He's married to That Girl!
I loved him in Gomer Pyle but also he was perfect in That Girl ❤️!!
I’m in love with Donald Hollinger.
Funny, i have been watching Tracey Ulman episodes lately and saw his name under the director credits. I wondered if it was the same the That Girl Ted Bessel. Thank you for clearing this up- he had many talents!
That girl. My mom looked exactly like Marlow Thomas. My grandfather was a taxi driver in New York when marlboyou are and ask my grandfather why he had her picture in his visor and he saidad that's my daughter Anne-Marie. And she was taken back cause she looks just like me she said. I'll never forget that story.😊
Her dad was really funny too, “What are you doing here Hollinger?”
I LOVED "That Girl" and wanted to marry someone like Donald Hollinger when I grew up!
I liked him on That Girl .
Good video! Thanks for reminding me of Ted Bessell. I saw him on a lot of tv shows growing up.
Glad you enjoyed it.
That Girl! Watched it as a kid.
Thank you
I remember him. Thanks for the update.
He was great (albeit a little neurotic) as Marlo Thomas’s boyfriend - loved that show ! So refreshing to watch good old fashioned dating values at play 👍🏻. I haven’t yet figured out if they got married before they ended the series though ! I’ll have to get on that 😂
That Girl was my favorite…it’s a shame he died so young, but he sure did a lot in his life.
Ted was perfect in "That Girl." Very good in "Gomer" along with Ronnie Schell.
That Girl.
Gomer Pyle...That Girl was also a fun, light-hearted series. A talented man...would have loved to hear his pianistic side.
Ted Hollinger is how I knew him. Great show as a kid. Thanks for the info I did not know about him. Nice background on your set. 👍
Donald Hollingsworth..
I loved him on That Girl. There was to be a reunion at the time of his death.
That girl great show
He had a great career very sad he died at such a young age.
She should have married him. The perfect guy for an independent woman. How could "That girl" done any better?
He was the perfect boyfriend. I just love “that girl.”👧🏻👱🏻♂️
Of course, That Girl. But I remember seeing him in other shows, like Gomer Plye and others. Sad that he passed at a young age.
That Girl! I loved him!
“No Donald. You can’t stay the night”.
I should have said he was her long suffering boyfriend. lol
Was a good actor! Enjoyed the Commentary!
Thank you!
He was so handsome…
Gomer Pyle. he was very excellent in that series.
I remember him from That Girl.
Thanks for finishing Ted's story. Always wondered about it. As a kid, I remember thinking that this guy in That Girl was the same guy in Dobie Gillis: Dwayne Hickman. I still think they look so much alike, and should've done something together. If they weren't related, they should've been! In the 70's he did a TV movie, which I think he directed, playing a Babbitt kind of character heading into middle age and suddenly deciding to live more by getting drunk, throwing a football for the first time, and falling in love, among other things. It was a neat "slice of life" movie. In That Girl I used to get a bit excited when Marlo called him by name. (My name is Don.). I had the same feeling watching Lost in Space when Judy Robinson called Major West, since I've always had a huge crush on Marta Kristen. (I was a very precocious little bast-er boy!).
I had forgotten how young he was!
61 is nowadays pretty young to die. In 1900 life expectancy was something like 45.
THAT GIRL...of course!!
Based on this girls age my favorite Ted Bessell show was That Girl. He began his role as the geekiest, anxiety ridden uncool for the times boyfriend who really grew on me for his on stage kindness which eventually became sexy as the show progressed for his much needed strength to his dizzy girlfriend. And he played off the fathers character perfectly like a.seasoned Vaudville team.
He would have made a perfect cast member for Mash. It's such a shame his acting career stalled.
Don't Drink The Water is a great movie...funny as hell. Ted Bessell had a strong role in that movie.
I actually saw that in the movie theater when it came out. I think I was 12.
You have an excellent voice over voice! I liked him on That Girl.
Thank you!
I only really remember him from the show " That girl". It's a shame he died young and suddenly.
I never saw "Me and the Chimp" but now know Cami Cotler was cast in a tv show prior to "The Waltons".
He's way before my time but I know him from That Girl reruns.
Me and he Chimp I never heard of. Reminds me of Alf, Harry and the Hendersons or the show in the movie Nope
Just lost a close friend at 64, You never now when your number is up!
Trivia: Marlowe Thomas was never permitted to have scenes kissing Ted Bessel in her apartment on "That Girl." She had to kiss him outside her door in the hallway or elsewhere (sidewalks, restaurants, jobs, etc.). But never in her apartment. Producers wanted to keep her image pure and innocent as a young, single lady living in her own apartment. No hint of sex was allowed.
Loved Ted Bessel in That Girl!
😢💔⭐️ Condolences to his family and friends and fellow workers. Rest In Peace. I will always remember him in Gomer Pyle. Wow. Thanks Steve. Steve. I forgot about him.
