    Robert Costello, Producer

    ... And much, much more. He started as producer on the PATTY DUKE SHOW, was recommended to Dan Curtis to produce DS, and along the way also produced STRANGE PARADISE (a goth/horror soap similar to DS), the afore-mentioned, highly-regarded (and award-winning) PBS drama series about John Adams's family tree, as well as his Emmy-winning work on RYAN'S HOPE, and ANOTHER WORLD.

    Working on DARK SHADOWS also brought him his long-standing third marriage to Sybil Weinberger, the program's music director.
    Mr. Costello was 93.

    RIP - I loved DS and didn't know he did so much else.

    His hometown article said he was proudest of his work on ARMSTRONG CIRCLE THEATER, his earliest production job. I wonder how much of that program has survived (it was gone by the time I was in school.) The show featured many well-known actors, but has not been rerun on "classic: or public TV stations, that I can recall. Maybe all the tapes were taped over or destroyed or poor quality to begin with, or it was just good in memory but would not hold up today?
