1. What 1974 thriller/mystery did he write?

2. What woman had a starring role in it?

3. Who is her most famous TV costar?

4. On what show did she (as an unknown) play a stewardess?

5. Who was the wacky neighbor?

6. On what other show was he the wacky neighbor?

7. What woman starred on that show?

8. In what 1996 movie did she reprise that role?
