Welcome to the 1950s, and the golden age of television, when quiz shows and sketch shows were all the rage and many dramas were filmed live.
Below is a list of Vincent’s dramatic appearances, which I will update continually as I continue my research. Vincent also made many appearances on a wide variety of shows during the era, so I have listed them separately at the bottom of the page.
