The only person I can think of is James Mason's son, Morgan Mason who is married to Belinda Carlisle formerly of the Go-Go's and a solo singing recording artist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, this marriage goes back further. It was notoriously tumultuous. The husband is deceased, but the wife is still living. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess of Tap Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Aaron Spelling/Carolyn Jones? I don't think that Aaron Spelling was a TV series regular. Also I don't think Carolyn Jones was ever the star of a sitcom-- Three examples would be Lucille Ball, Mary Tyler Moore or Marlo Thomas. Hint: his wife was the star of the show and he was a regular on the show, as well as the main writer of the show. In addition to this show he produced other classic TV shows.

Princess of Tap Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Fra-- I'm going to have to quote one of my favorite old quiz Masters here: Finance-- Fi--would say: That's not who I was thinking of-- I like to think I'm more open-minded than Fi was, so I'll just tell you that if your answer fits the criteria and you can show me that your answer fits the criteria it's all yours-- The husband was a TV executive who wrote the sitcom, appeared in the sitcom and produced other sitcoms in classic TV-- That would rule out Roseanne and Company because she's not in classic TV-- If you want to tell me the other shows that Tony Owen produced and appeared in, then he would be your answer. However, I'm not aware of Tony Owen being a performer or producing other TV shows. Hint: the Star's husband appeared in the sitcom and wrote the sitcom. He also produced other classic TV sitcoms, well known to all of us. Another additional hint - -the wife co-starred in the movies and on radio prior to entering television.
