★★★ · retitled from radio · Gov Bud Hudnut · 2021-05-16

This program was an adaptation of "Portia Faces Life", a long-running radio soap. In answer to the query, who's the blond actor? That's Karl Swenson.

★★★ · Who is Walter? · MPDMedia · 2021-05-14

The blond guy playing Walter, Portia's husband, isn't Donald Woods, whom IMDB i.d.'s in that role. I recognize him from other genre roles, like westerns, and he wore a moustache. Later TV roles like Little House or The Waltons perhaps. Very familiar-looking. Anyone else think the cake topping looks like a Frankenstein monster's head?
