Re: Multiple members of the same acting familes who appeared in Columbo episodes

Of course, I didn't notice the most obvious, Peter and Shera! Also Bruce and Bruno Kirby both in By Dawn's Early Light.

Re: Multiple members of the same acting familes who appeared in Columbo episodes

If we're allowed to include those who had been married to each other at one point and not necessarily at the time of their Columbo appearances, Robert Culp and France Nuyen ("Murder Under Glass").

And in the stable marriage department, John Cassavetes and Gena Rowlands.

Re: Multiple members of the same acting familes who appeared in Columbo episodes

Yes, definately, I heard about Culp and Nuyen in the past but completely forgot.

Re: Multiple members of the same acting familes who appeared in Columbo episodes

Joyce Van Patten was married to Dennis Dugan (I think during the time they both appeared) and Nita Talbot had previously been married to Don Gordon.

And although he never appeared on camera, Boris Sagal directed the episode Katy Sagal appeared in ("Candidate for Crime").
