Remembering...

 
Kathleen Crowley
 
1929-2017
 
 
Ms. Crowley, who appeared in eight episodes of Maverick (five with Jack Kelly), passed away at age 87 on Sunday, April 23, 2017, at her home in Green Bank, NJ (which was also her birthplace). After a career in films and television, Ms. Crowley married in 1969 and retired in the early 1970's to raise her son.  Her obituary in the Hollywood Reporter revealed that "She later became the bridgetender (the person that opens and closes the span to accommodate waterway traffic) for the Green Bank New Road Bridge..."

In 1961, Ms. Crowley described what it was like working with JK on the "Dade City Dodge" episode of Maverick: "Working with a professional like Jack is a real pleasure...It doesn't seem like there's been almost four years between my two Maverick shows. [First show was "The Jeweled Gun" in 1957.] And the rehearsals for this one went just as smooth as the other; you'd think we were on-camera instead of just running through the lines and action."
 
Rest in peace, Ms. Crowley.
