But then Keith was emerging as a big star, and he and O’Hara did THE PARENT TRAP for Disney that same year, 1961.Elgin Bleeckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08417587392887691664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401124973760279564.post-16889374681716884982016-12-11T12:52:26.608-05:002016-12-11T12:52:26.608-05:00Brian Keith was a journeyman actor to me.

No, I haven't watch the show but intend to sooner than later.
