Season One - Episode: Pilot For The Series
Original Air Date: September 22, 1984
Dani Reynolds (Jennifer O'Neill) is fashion photographer. Her life changes after her husband dies. She learned that her husband a mild mannered man was in reality a government agent. When she found out that he was murdered, she recruited a former Special Forces Green Beret and Vietnam Veteran Mac Harper to help her find her husbands killers. After they complete there mission, Henry Towler (Richard Anderson) her husband's boss, offers her husband's job to her. Basically, she would continue being a photographer and Mac one of her models. And Henry would send them anywhere in the world where there are Americans in trouble or criminals that need to be apprehended or enemies of the U.S. that had to be stopped, and they acted pretty much on their own. When Jon-Erik Hexum who played Mac Harper died, Jack Striker (Antony Hamilton) joined the show as an actual agent who joined Dani's team as the new model.
TRIVIA:
On October 12, 1984 between scenes on the set of "Cover Up" (1984) Jon-Erik Hexum jokingly placed a blank-loaded .44 Magnum prop gun to his temple and pulled the trigger. The gun fired, and the wadding from the blank cartridge shattered his skull. Jon-Erik Hexum was rushed to the hospital where he was declared brain-dead and on October 18, 1984 he was taken off life support and his organs were harvested for transplant, he was taken off life support and his organs were harvested for transplant, He was replaced by Antony Hamilton, who himself died prematurely of an AIDS related illness in 1995, aged 42.
COMMENT:
I seldom give a 10 on a review, but this series was absolutely great, in my humble opinion. The music is first-rate as well. Watching the episode where Dani is told Mac is not coming back was so moving, there is no doubt that a bond existed between all the players. Jon-Erik Hexum's tragic demise truly hit them hard. They wrote his death into the script with grace and respect, almost reverence. I've been lucky enough to get an entire set of the show on DVD, so I am truly blessed. Jennifer O'Neill is stunningly beautiful and it is a shame we have not seen more of her in recent years. I am a fan of Richard Anderson as well, and he played his role convincingly, Jack Striker (Antony Hamilton) who replaced Jon-Erik Hexum after his death did a remarkable job, This was one of the best television series of the 1980's.
Opis:
Život Deni Rejnolds (Jennifer O'Neill), koja radi kao modni fotograf, se naglo promenio kada joj je muž ubijen. Nakon smrti Deni saznaje da je njen muž zapravo bio agent CIA-e i unajmljuje Mak Harpera (Jon-Erik Hexum), bivšeg pripadnika zelenih beretki, da otkrije ko je ubio njenog muža. Nakon što je otkrila ubicu, šef njenog pokojnog muža joj nudi da nastavi da radi za agenciju. Tako pod paravanom modne agencije Deni i Mek putuju po celom svetu razotkrivajući zločince i različite zavere....
Serija je bila ultra-mega hit, ali je tokom snimanja, još u proj sezoni glavni glumac (Jon-Erik Hexum) zaginuo. Iako ga je zamenio tada popularni Antony Hamilton, skandal i činjenica da se uspeh serije zasnivao na popularnosti pokojnog Jon-Erik Hexum-a i Jennifer O'Neill (Deni Rejnolds) doveli su do otkazivanje serije nakon prve sezone.
