I don’t know how it was decided, but I moved in with Lloyd Schwartz, his wife, and their young son. They converted their TV room into a bedroom. No one wanted me living by myself while we worked. They figured they could still keep a close watch on me, maybe not in a Landy-like way, but still close enough; Sherwood and Lloyd also assigned their secretary to watch me every minute I was at the studio.
Away from the studio, I sensed my TV husband, actor Jerry Houser, might have also been instructed to keep an eye on me. But such paranoia lasted only while we worked on the movie, which NBC reorganized into three half-hour shows that ran on consecutive Fridays. By the time we were shooting the series, which the network ordered after the initial episodes proved ratings winners, I realized Jerry’s interest in me came from his heart.
Jerry was a solid actor who’d worked steadily since making the leap a decade earlier from Valley Junior College to the movie Summer of ’42, in which he played fifteen-year-old Oscy. He hadn’t been my first choice as Marcia’s husband, but we became good friends. If Jerry had had his way, we would’ve been more than friends. We dated several times and made out once, but I didn’t feel the right chemistry was there. To be fair to Jerry, I didn’t know how to feel anything at that point.
Nor was I ready to open myself up like that. By the time we began shooting the series, I had relapsed again. The emptiness inside me was too great and the urge to use again was too strong. I didn’t have the power or resources to mount a meaningful struggle, and that was because there wasn’t any meaning to my life. I tried to find peace in my journal.
