Todays Elliot Ness segment.

[Zero]

Yeah it's one showed many times, but does anyone else like it simply because it shows a young Robert Stack?

Yes. It's quite a trip to see what Stack looked like way back in the late 1950s-early 1960s and he looked quite good as always. It's also very interesting that the real Eliot had his unsolved mystery profiled on UM, hosted by none other than the actor who portrayed him in the original Untouchables tv series.

Also, sadly, the real Eliot Ness died on May 16, 1957 of a heart attack at age 54. Stack died of heart failure on May 14, 2003 at age 84.

Yeah! I first got accustomed to Robert Stack many years ago when I was in high school, on late night reruns of The Untouchables . Me and Mom would stay up and watch 'cause he was cool. I speculated once that that's why he himself never spooks me out or gives me the chills; I'm so used to him it's just very reassuring to see and hear him. Elliot Ness is on the case!

Mom used to tell me that the reason he did Unsolved was, in his personal life he had something very unusual happen to him and after that he was always interested in psychic things, UFOs and the unexplained. He talked about this in an interview long ago. Maybe he also talks about it in his memoirs.
