I think Jackie Gleason won an oscar for "THE HUSTLER" while he was still doing "THE JACKIE GLEASON SHOW".

Zoneboy · 04-08-2008, 02:36 AM

The following appeared on the original Twilight Zone and won the Oscar for best actor:

Cliff Robertson
Lee Marvin
Art Carney
Robert Duvall

Small trivia item: When Eileen Ryan starred in the 1960 TZ episode A World of Difference she was pregnant with her second son Sean Penn.

No actress from the original TZ ever won the Oscar for best actress but Helen Mirren did appear in the 1985 TZ
