HOW DISGUSTING IS IT that he's "teasing" the decision on what to do in Iran like it's an upcoming episode of "The Apprentice?"
He says something like "I dunno, I gotta think about it, maybe I will, maybe I won't." then he has a cabinet meeting, and they all go around the table and gush about his "bold and decisive leadership."
They're afraid to do anything but agree, because once that kid raises his hand and points, it's game over.

(17,729 posts)Bill Mumy did his job as an actor if he creeped you out.
Bill Mumy also starred in Babylon 5. An excellent series of life living on a planetary Space Station.

ON EDIT: After conducting some web research, I see that the episode in question does not feature an actress who died tragically. I must be thinking of some other episode, maybe from some other show, and maybe which does not feature Bill Mumy. I am sorry for my confusion which lead to my putting up this post.
ON SECOND EDIT: In the March 31, 1961, episode, "Long Distance Call," Billy Mumy portrays a lad who communicates via a toy telephone with his deceased grandmother. In the episode, the babysitter is portrayed by Jenny Maxwell (Sept. 3, 1941 - June 10, 1981). Ms. Maxwell and her husband were shot to death by an unknown assailant.
