He was a weirdo in Stockton, CA on The Big Valley.

One thing for sure, Norman was a working fool.

Oh, yeah, Norman Alden was in plenty of shows. As was his TV wife, Doris Singleton. Doris had been on Sons before, plus Lucy, and almost any other show of that era.

She guest-starred on My Three Sons, playing two different characters who had recurring roles throughout the long run of the show. She originally played the mother of Meredith MacRae whose character Sally Morrison married original oldest son Mike Douglas (Tim Considine) in the 1964–65 season. Later she played Margaret, mother of Polly Williams (Ronne Troup) in the 1970–71 season.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doris_Singleton
