Desi Arnaz Jr. 'mute' Acting performance in 'Feet of Clay' episode


Desi Arnaz Jr. 'mute' Acting performance in 'Feet of Clay' episode was definitely coached/inspired by his then girlfriend Patty Duke (1970-71 timeframe), who had several years earlier garnered Oscar recognition/acclaim with her "blind/mute" performance in the "Miracle Worker". Its interesting to see them as a couple in a 1970 Emmy Telecast clip from this link <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcUYBKDADLE>;. Nonetheless....its a real trip to see Link (Clarence Williams III) hardly ever crack a smile and remain so focused (With the Dark Shades...I mean really even indoors..Shades "on") in his acting style in the Mod Squad Episodes. Having recently purchased a DVD set myself ..and Now Able to enjoy shows that I hadn't seen since the Middle 1970's in re-runs.
