Calling All Susan Silo Fans! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

tv star collector · 12-18-2010, 09:55 AM

Hi! I am a HUGE fan of actress Susan Silo and first saw her on the short-lived NBC sitcom Harry's Girls, back in 1963. I discovered her website about five years ago, and we have been writing to each other for almost four months. She is a very gracious lady who really appreciates her loyal fans. Just for fun, I have designed and produced a fanzine, which I have shared via email with Susan and some of my family and friends. I am now producing the third issue. It contains many photos, artwork and much info about Susan's long and varied career in show business. She has been a performer since she was 4. Fans on this board may remember her best as Babette in
the Season 2 episode "Babette, Go Home" and as WAC Smitty in the 1965
feature film McHale's Navy Joins the Air Force. I am trying to start a fan club, as I think Susan is a highly underrated actress. I'd be happy to add anyone's name to my mailing list, and if you can recruit more members or contribute anything to the fanzine, it would be greatly appreciated. Membership is FREE. We just want to show Susan how much we love her work.

I don't recall the episode, but it's been years since I watched the run. I'll bet Susan looked gorgeous in uniform in the movie, once again something I need to see again...!

I've been looking into Harry's Girls -- I would love to see that series. I was already familiar with Larry Blyden for several reasons, like his Twilight Zone work and also having preceded Wally Bruner as host of What's My Line. What a shame that the run was short for Harry's Girls.

Interesting that you mentioned Larry Blyden had appeared on Twilight Zone because that series was aired on CBS opposite NBC's Harry's Girls.
That's probably one reason the sitcom flopped, plus the fact that it was so
expensive to film on location in Europe. Susan has a few episodes, and I
managed to find a collector who swapped three episodes on DVD for two of
my comic books. His name is Bob O'Brien, and he is a member of this board.

Good luck!
