Speaking of Joan Crawford, she infamously filled in for her daughter Christina on the daytime soap The Secret Storm. It was a disaster!

Margaret Hamilton ("The Wizard of Oz") guested on The Addams Family.

Lou Costello gave his last performance, in a rare dramatic role, on a segment
of Wagon Train.

I Love Lucy - When the Ricardos went to Hollywood, I think everyone guest starred. I remember Harpo Marx, Robert Cummings, John Wayne, William Holden, and I'm sure there's a ton I'm forgetting.

The Twilight Zone got tons of them - every one from Buster Keaton to Charles Bronson.

Gilligan's Island got Zza Zza Gabor, Don Rickles, and a very young Kurt Russell.

Columbo also had a bunch. I haven't seen that many episodes, but I remember Anne Baxter, Leslie Nielsen, Mel Ferrar and Jamie Lee Curtis.

And then there's Vincent Price, who guest-starred on I think every show they made in the 60s. He was on F Troop, Get Smart, Batman, The Brady Bunch, etc.

I don't remember the She wolf movies, but I do remember June Lockhart from 1944's Meet Me in St Louis. That's definately a classic. Also, Roseanne had quite a few Oscar winners: Red Buttons, Shelley Winters, and Estelle Parsons. I seem to remember Tony Curtis showing up there too.

The Nanny also had a bunch: Donald O'Conner, Steve & Eydie, Cloris Leachman, Rita Moreno, Milton Berle, Elizabeth Taylor, and John Astin.

All in the Family had Betty Garrett, Sammy Davis, Jr, Janis Paige, and (I believe) Lena Horne.

Murder She Wrote had a ton - I remember seeing Margaret O'Brien, Shirley Jones, Gloria DeHaven, Van Johnson, Vera Miles, Anne Francis, Roddy McDowall...

Several leading ladies from the movies later headed up series:

Joan Bennett (Dark Shadows)
