Lassie - Episode

While Corey and Lassie are on vacation with a friend of Corey's in California, Lassie makes friends with a pair of sea lions who come to her rescue when she is accidentally knocked into the rough surf of the ocean.
TRIVIA: Hugh Beaumont (1909 - 1982) who plays Corey's friend, , in this 1966 episode, also was a guest actor in the second Lassie episode filmed "The Well" (1954). Beaumont began his acting career in 1931 by performing in theaters, nightclubs and radio. He began acting in motion pictures in 1940, appearing in over three dozen films in small, and often uncredited, parts. In 1955 he guest starred in the Lassie episode "The Well" which was, with the episode "The Inheritance", the first two episodes filmed as pilots for the new Lassie series. He played Mr. Sanders, a water company executive, interested in purchasing the Miller family's well. In 1957 Beaumont had enough acting credits to move into a starring role as the father, Ward Cleaver, on the popular sitcom television series "Leave It to Beaver". It is this role for which he is famously known in TV history, his character being ranked #28 in TV Guide's list of the "50 Greatest TV Dads of All Time" in the June 20, 2004, issue. After Leave It to Beaver ended production in late 1963, Beaumont appeared in many community theater productions and played a few guest roles on many other prime time television series, until a stroke in 1972 was cause for his retirement from acting. He died in 1982 from a heart attack he suffered while visiting family.
