Why Hillary Clinton Hasn't Consulted
Him on Health-Care Reform: ''People thought Gannon was too much of a
white knight. Realistically, he was a little weak in his personal
life. If they dated me on the show, they never lasted. I was almost
the kiss of death.''
On the One Patient He Lost: ''I got a Golden
Globe out of it. I begged them, Like, can't one of my patients ever
die? So Diane Baker guest-starred as a former lover who had surgery
and her heart failed and I had to massage her heart with my hand. She
died with her heart in my hands. The foreign press absolutely atethat up.''
Life After Cancellation: Two short-lived series, three
miniseries, numerous TV movies, several feature films including
Airplane II: The Sequel (''Reruns have kept me in the public eye for a
long time''), and appearances in dozens of charity golf tournaments
(''I asked God to involve me a little bit and use me in any way he saw
fit''). Everett, 56, lives in Westlake Village, Calif., with his wife, Shelby.
Other Classic Docs: Vince Edwards as the title character
of Ben Casey, Carl Betz as The Donna Reed Show's Alex Stone,
