JAMES SHELDON was directing the radio show We, The People when it
became the first commercial CBS network program to telecast
nationally on June 1, 1948. Since then he has experienced the
technological changes from live to electronic tape to film, from
black and white to color, and from a few hundred thousand to the
multi-millions of television sets in use today. His early live
credits include dramatic series like Robert Montgomery Presents and
Studio One, comedies like Mister Peepers and musicals like Don
Ameche's Holiday Hotel. He was part of the move from New York to
Los Angeles as television production shifted west in the mid 50's.
Credits during that period: The Johnny Carson Show, West Point
Story, Harbor Command and Dick Powell's Zane Grey Theater. In the
60's, he directed many episodes of 87th Precinct, Naked City, Route
66, The Millionaire, My Three Sons, The Twilight Zone, Walt
Disney's Wonderful World of Color and Gunsmoke. In the '70's,
M*A*S*H, The Virginian, Sanford & Son, Rock Hudson's McMillan
& Wife and Raymond Burr's Ironsides. In the '80's, Seven Brides
for Seven Brothers, Cagney & Lacey, and The Equalizer. Included
in the list of the many actors whose careers he helped start are:
James Dean, Paul Newman, Dustin Hoffman, Gene Hackman, Carroll
O'Connor, Clint Eastwood, Burt Reynolds, Lee Remick, Tony Randall
and Tyne Daly.
