The DuPont Show with June Allyson (also known asThe June Allyson Show) is an Americananthology drama series which aired onCBS from September 21, 1959, to April 3, 1961, with rebroadcasts continuing until June 12, 1961.
The series was hosted by actressJune Allyson[1] and was aFour Star-Pamric Production.[citation needed] Allyson sometimes starred in episodes, one of which ("A Summer's Ending") was her first appearance on TV with her husband, Dick Powell.[2]
Aaron Spelling was the producer.[2]Paul Henreid,James Neilson, andJack Smight were directors.[3]Richard Levinson andWilliam Link were writers for the program.[4]
Allyson took offense when critics dismissed the program with comments that included comparing its episodes to contents of women's fiction magazines. "Any show that stars a woman just naturally seems to be called a soap opera, whether it is or not", she said.[5]
