This was posted over at The Land of Whatever earlier this week, but merits inclusion here, too.
Well before being cast as Marge on The Simpsons, and, before that, The Tracey Ullman Show, Julie Kavner was best known for her role as Brenda on Rhoda. During a break between seasons 1 & 2 of that series, Julie decided to try some drama, playing a blind woman accused of murder on Petrocelli. Listen close, and there's a wee hint of her future role as Marge.
Michael Bell appeared in 4 episodes of season 2 of Petrocelli as prosecuting attorney Frank Kaiser, who was also a friend of the title defense lawyer (Barry Newman). One wonders if Michael had auditioned for The New Perry Mason two years earlier, a role that went to Monte Markham, because he seems so natural playing a lawyer.
Check it.
