The Column on the Square

By Ed Brooks

 

Stacy Harris, formerly associated with Jack Webb on Dragnet, got plenty of money for starring in the TV crime series filmed here, N.O.P.D.  But ads announcing the beginning of the series Monday on Around the Town via Channel 4 ran all day and misspelled star Stacy's first name.

It's an old Welsh name, he reminded us, and when spelled S-t-a-c-e-y is feminine.  He prefers it the correct masculine way: Stacy.
