David Janssen, Pamela Tiffin, and "The Girl from Little Egypt"

We're taking a few days off for the holidays, but we'll be back with brand new editions of TV Confidential in the new year. In the meantime, please enjoy this Blast from the Past clip from March 2016 featuring sixties film historian Tom Lisanti. Tom's books include Pamela Tiffin: Hollywood to Rome, 1961-1974, a comprehensive look at Tiffin's work in film and television that includes insight from Tiffin herself (as well as such co-stars as Franco Nero), while also exploring the reasons why she remains a cult film icon. In this particular clip, Tom and Ed discuss "The Girl from Little Egypt," the episode of The Fugitive that originally aired on Dec. 24, 1963. Not only is "Little Egypt" among the most popular episodes of the series (because it provided viewers with the back story of Kimble's trial and the night of Helen Kimble's murder), but it also marked one of Pamela Tiffin's few appearances on network television.
