Sue Randall on Bonanza - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Marvo301 · 11-17-2010, 02:30 AM

I was watching an episode of Bonanza the other day on one of my local channels and I spotted a familiar face in the episode. It was none other than Miss Landers from "Leave it to Beaver. This was the first time I'd seen Sue Randall in any other role and the first time I'd seen her on a show filmed in color! She was a very striking woman! No wonder Beaver had a crush on her!

It's pretty cool to see someone like that turn up unexpectedly on a show you're watching. Did she have a small part or large part on that episode of Bonanza?

It was a pretty big part. She played a doctor's assistant who moved temporarily to the Ponderosa to help an injured ranch hand with his rehab. And of course it turned into a romance between the two of them.

Thanks for the info & I wish I'd gotten to see it.

Sue was also in another Bonanza episode from those early years of the series. In that other one she played a shopkeeper. I think those were the only two, offhand. Both are "must-see" for the Randall fan.

The irony of this post if that I recently came across Sue Randall on a Perry Mason episode, but I didn't know who she was. She really caught my attention, so I googled her and only recently I learned about her. The PM episode was from 1964.

She was in another 'Bonanza' where she played a preacher's wife. Glenn Corbett ('Route 66') played the preacher.

Sue Randall also appeared in 2 Twilight Zone episodes. "And When the Sky was Opened" and "From Agnes-With Love" in the latter, she plays the love interest of Wally Cox.

The late Sue Randall was featured in TWO Perry Mason episodes(in both as the client whom Mason defended and got off-I saw BOTH episodes she was featured in)1960's"The Case of the Ill-Fated Faker" and 1964's"The Case of the Garrulous Go-Between".She also was featured in the 1960 "Thriller"episode "Man in the Middle"(I saw this one,too).It's too bad she didn't live long enongh to do the 1983 CBS-Universal TV movie "Still the Beaver",because she would have been great in it,because I really liked her as Miss Landers,EXCEPT in the not-very good "Leave it to Beaver"1961 episode "Substitute Father".What year did she die ,anyway?

Sue Randall died of lung cancer in 1984 at the age of 49. Far too young!

Diane Brewster (Miss Canfield) also appeared in a Perry Mason episode, in 1963.

Also on Bonanza: Richard Deacon (Fred Rutherford) appeared in an early Bonanza episode -- IIRC he played a ship's captain and wore big sideburns...!
