Episode # 5922 THE TROUBLE WITH LAURY’S MEN
Original airdate: 3-13-60

Janet Barlow (played by Loretta Young) believes that she drives away her daughter Laury’s boyfriends by being too talkative around them. So, when Laurie (played by Julie Sommars) brings a new suitor, Curt played by Joe Cronin, home the talkative mother decides to let her husband do the entertaining. But when Dan (played by Glenn Langan) comes down with a virus Janet must deal with the new beau herself. It finally takes a heart-to-heart talk to convince the young suitor that Janet really approves of him.

This was Julie Sommars’ debut television appearance at the age of eighteen. She is best known for her work on television with appearances on Gunsmoke, Shirley Temple's Storybook, The Great Adventure, Bonanza, Run, Buddy, Run, Perry Mason, Ben Casey, Death Valley Days, The Fugitive, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Get Smart, and Love, American Style. She would go on to play assistant District Attorney Julie March on the TV series, Matlock from 1987 to 1994.

During her career, Sommars has appeared in four movies, in the 1965 Columbia Pictures' western The Great Sioux Massacre, in the comedy film, The Pad and How to Use It. and co-starred opposite Dean Jones and Don Knotts in Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo and the 1979 feature Sex and the Single Parent.

Born in Denver, Colorado, Glenn Langan made his Broadway debut in 1942 opposite Luise Rainer in a revival of J.M. Barrie's A Kiss for Cinderella. His first credited film role was in The Return of Doctor X (1939).

He appeared as a French professor in the romantic Margie (1946), a devoted young doctor protecting Gene Tierney from Vincent Price in Dragonwyck (1946), and as one of the psychiatrists looking after demented patient Olivia de Havilland in The Snake Pit (1948). Langan was also gainfully employed in escapist adventure, essaying a square-jawed privateer captain in Forever Amber (1947).

His popularity waned by the early 1950s, unfortunately, and he spent the next decade appearing on various television episodes, but eventually achieved a form of cult status as the irradiated 60-foot hero of Bert I. Gordon's sci-fi outing, The Amazing Colossal Man (1957).

After winding down his screen career in the 1960s, Langan re-invented himself as a successful real estate salesman. Married for forty years to actress Adele Jergens, he died from cancer on January 26, 1991 (aged 73) in Camarillo, California.
