The First Lady Of Television
-
Dead: Mary Kay Stearns, at 93, in November, previously unreported. Who? Well, in 1949, Mary Kay and her husband Johnny were among the first TV stars, starring in a sitcom based on their lives as a married couple. It was the first married-couple domestic sitcom to hit TV (it was a staple of radio, but they were the first on TV). They were also the first TV couple to share a bed on camera, which became taboo after TV became big. But by the time TV became big, their show was over. Timing is everything. (New York Times)
