| McLean Stevenson in "M*A*S*H" (credit: IMDB.com) |
SALT LAKE CITY - McLean Stevenson had been on the road for days,
hyping his new show "America." His suits were rumpled, he
was tired and irritable. It was only 10:30 a.m., but be had been speaking to
groups of journalists and potential advertisers for several hours.
Finally, the man who gained fame in the role of Lt. Col. Henry
Blake on “M*A*S*H” was taking a break, eating breakfast and making small talk with
KSL-TV newscasters Shelley Thomas and Dick Nourse.
The laughter and chatter came to a sudden halt when his
publicist appeared at the table, reminding him it was time for another
interview.
