I
have been following Monte Markham's career since 1968 when he starred in
a wonderful television comedy, "The Second Hundred Years." Seems that Luke
Carpenter (Monte Markham) was a gold prospector in the 1890s gold rush in
Alaska. But an avalanche buried Luke and he was listed as dead. Then 70
odd years later, due to a military project, Luke's body was uncovered and
when thawed out ... he came back to life! This was good news for his son,
Edwin Carpenter (Arthur O'Connell) and his grandson (also played by Monte
Markham) but since being frozen it seems Luke hadn't aged! According to
the Colonel who breaks the news to Edwin, "For all intent and purposes he
is 33 years old!" The fun begins when Luke is introduced to this
"new fangled" century and all the problems they have keeping his true identity
a secret!
Monte Markham
has starred in numerous television series: Mr. Smith Goes To Washington,
The
New Perry Mason and Bay
Watch (1st season), and has guest starred in even more! Fantasy Island,
Murder She Wrote, Simon and Simon, and currently Grace Under Fire. Monte has always been a gracious celebrity, answering my letters each time I write! July 1988 will mark the 30th year anniversary of the first letter I received from him (and yes, I still have it)! |
