Richard Benjamin and Paula Prentiss on He & She. I believe they are still married. He is now a successful director.

Barbara Eden's husband appeared on "I Dream of Jeannie" in at least a couple of episodes. Wasn't he the "Blue Djinn" or something like that?

Also, for "Benson" fans, James Noble's wife, Carolyn Coates, appeared in two Benson episodes.

Yes, Barbara's first husband, Michael Ansara with whom she had her only child, was the Blue Djinn on "I Dream of Jeannie."

The couple who were on "Webster". I don't know their names but I know they were married in real life.

Elizabeth Montgomery's then-husband, director Bill Asher, had a cameo in a fifth season ep of Bewitched. He was an impatient driver, honking at Darrin ahead of him, to speed up!!

Mary Tyler Moore's then-husband, executive Grant Tinker, was seen walking with MTM in the opening credits of her show. Those credits were the ones in the later seasons; 4-7 if I'm not mistaken.
