| "Decoy" (1957) | Beverly Garland "As the lady private-eye/cop (can't remember) 'Casey Jones' in the starring role of this TV series she was a smoker, definitely IRL, and it seems she smoked in every episode. As I recall it was like one of those great film-noir movies with many of the actresses smoking and it it kept coming back every week." | |
| "Decoy" (1957) | Beverly Garland ep. "Lost Saturday", c. '57 "2 scenes; one mostly with cig in ashtray but with a nice complete deep inhale and exhale at the end, the other smoking in a bar she is staking out. smokes and holds a whole cig in real time. | |
| "Decoy" (1957) | Beverly Garland ep. #1.4, "To Trap a Thief", c. '57 "one scene, short, lighting up. takes a drag but the exhale is invisible; then she puts it out to answer the door. she looks very natural... and nice!" | |
| "Decoy" (1957) | Beverly Garland ep. #1.25, "High Swing", Jun. 3, '59 "only one scene but she looks good in this one in general, and what a doozy that one scene is: makes a sexy entrance to the bar, it looks like, in the scene change they edited so we just see the end of her bumming an all white from a guy, then walks over to another man and makes a show of lighting up and then takes the stool next to another man and sits and holds and looks gorgeous with a big smile for about a minute. nice. the only bummer is that when they move from the bar to the booth the whole cig magically disappears when we have like another whole 2-3 minutes of her talking with this guy. would have been a lot better without that glitch. seems funny to think at one time stars of series shows like this one smoked in character."
