Funny Face aired from September until December 1971 on CBS.
Sandy Duncan was considered one of the most promising new stars in television when this comedy series was launched in the fall of 1971. She was cast as Sandy Stockton, a pert young UCLA student majoring in education who made ends meet by working part-time as an actress in TV commercials. The big city life of Los Angeles was a constant challenge for Sandy, who hailed from the small town of Taylorville, Illinois.Helping her cope were her next door neighbor and best friend Alice McRaven (Valorie Armstrong), and Mr. and Mrs. Harwell( Henry Beckman, Kathleen Freeman), the nosy landlords.
Production of the series was discontinued in 1971 when Sandy Duncan required eye surgery; she returned in the role of Sandy Stockton in 1972 in a slightly different format,on a show called The Sandy Duncan Show.

It's no big deal, really," said pretty, big-eyed Broadway and TV Star Sandy Duncan. What she was tossing off so coolly was the blindness of one of her eyes, resulting from a benign tumor operated on last November. "I've been nearsighted most of my life," said Tony Award Winner Duncan. "My father says I can see more than I can understand anyway. What would affect me more—being in the business that I'm in—would have been if the motor area had been damaged. You see, the appearance of the eye is more important, actually, than the vision." She plans to resume her weekly TV series Funny Face in May or June.
