Very talented actor that Mr. McGoohan was. Back during the 1960s, I used to watch his SECRET AGENT. I remember that series using a lot of harpsichord music, as, for some reason, I always associate that instrument with British programs such as the AVENGERS.
You mentioned writing to Mr. McGoohan. That reminds me when I once wrote to actor Orson Bean because I always enjoyed his antics as a comedy-magician. So in the 1980s I wrote to Mr. Bean in care of the TONIGHT SHOW since he appeared on that show so often. About a week later, I got a very nice letter from Mr. Bean. The stationery had the letterhead of Holiday Inn, so I presume that Mr. Bean was staying at a Holiday Inn when he wrote the letter. So gracious of Mr. Bean to write to me. He mentioned the magic he performed. I particularly enjoyed Mr. Bean's comedy magic of the Cut and Restored Necktie. Mr. Bean is still alive, I think. If so, I wish he would appear on game-shows again, as I'm an avid game show fan.
Also, I'm glad that Mr. Leonard Nimoy is still alive. Nimoy will always be my favorite actor. I heard he will appear in the next STAR TREK movie. But I wonder whether it will be an actual visual appearance or only his voice. After all,the movie will center on Spock as Teen-ager, so I wonder if Nimoy will be there visually or only his voice.
