Roxanne Rosedale, the glamorous model and actress who assisted host Bud Collyer on the 1950s game show Beat the Clock and appeared in the Marilyn Monroe-starring The Seven Year Itch, has died. She was 95.
Known professionally as Roxanne, she died May 2 in an assisted care facility in her birthplace of Minneapolis, her daughter Ann Roddy told The Hollywood Reporter.
Roxanne became a hugely popular TV star after she joined CBS’ Beat the Clock, from Mark Goodson-Bill Todman Productions, in 1950. She would introduce the contestants — who were tasked with completing complicated, outrageous stunts in an allotted time — snapped photos with a Sylvania camera and posed alongside the winners’ prizes.

While on the show, she made the covers of such magazines as Life, Look and (with Collyer) TV Guide and even had a doll named for her. The blue-eyed Roxanne Dolls featured a Beat the Clock...

Character actor Richard Carlyle appeared in numerous films and television productions from the early 1950s, but was perhaps best remembered for his guest-starring role as Carl Jaeger in the 1967 episode The Squire of Gothos of the original Star Trek series.
Carlyle was born in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada, on March 20, 1914, and made his film debut in the 1951 feature Target Unknown. He was seen on television in episodes of such series as The Web, Lights Out, One Step Beyond, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, The Alfred Hitchcock Hour, and Irwin Allen’s Land of the Giants. He was also featured in the 1977 supernatural tele-film The Spell.
Carlyle died in Los Angeles on November 15, 2009, at the age of 95.
