Elinor Donahue and Tony Randall Weren’t Friends At First
Elinor Donahue, who played Miriam, stated that at the first table read, she had trouble reading and remembering her lines. This frustrated Tony, who yelled at her and banged his fists on the table to the point that she was in tears. The next day, Tony gave her flowers and deeply apologized, and they ended up becoming close friends.
