"I know, it mounds crazy," says Robert Colbert, the ex-Warner Bras, actor who is co-starred this fall in the ABC-TV aeries Time Tunnel, "but it turned out to be the luckiest thing that ever happened to me. -Restauraat Weat Brake He tost the $30,000 by investing in a Hollywood restaurant that went broke. "I had been trying to get out of my Warners contract with no success. Then I started losing money in the restaurant.

After the restaurant went into bankruptcy the creditors were threatening to attach my salary. "So I pleaded with the studio, Please fire me. If I'm not work-ng the creditors will settle for 85 cents on the WeU, the studio did feel sorry and fired me and the creditors then settled for 25 cents on the dollar. "I still lost $80,000 but within six weeks I had a new contract at Revue Out paid me twice what I was making at Warner Bros. 1 A graduate of the Portland, Repertory Theater, Colbert spent five years appearing nearly every Warner TV series when Colt.

45. Sugarfoot, Cheyenne. Hawaiian Eye. 77 Sunset Strip and Bourbon Street Beat led the audience ratings, la Twe Movies He also appeared in two Warner movies. "Claudelle Ingush" and "A Fever In the Blood." A fever in the blood a high one was' what Colbert had when James Garner walked away from the highly successful Maverick aeries and Warner Bro decided Colbert, would make a great replacement.

"I realized that no one could replace Garner and I fought against it. But I lost. They forced me to do two shows. Instead of Brett Maverick tbey named me Brent Maverick. I was ridiculous and I told them so.

I said. Dress me in girl's clothes and call me Brenda Maverick and then well really have something. They didnt get the point. But after two shows they realised their mistake. Jack Kelly went on to finish the season and that was the end of the series.

All the humor was gone. Robert Colbert's sense of humor is the reason be became an actor, he says. Until 1965 "I laughed my way in and out of a dozen jobs." They included oil driller, ditch digger, bulldozer driver, furniture mover, disc Jockey and kitchen appliance salesman. MeredithMacRae-v Now Headed For 'i Third Mamage' (Photo on Page One) By TBStOtm JOHNSON HOLLYWOOD There's still another "marriage' in Meredith 'MacRae's future. First "Marriage" i The first was to Tim Coosidine on the TV series My Three was a marriage of conveni- ence, for the producers.

Tim was i growing too old for Fred Mac-Murray's apron strings so bis marriage to Meredith wiped both of them out of the aeries. -A week later, Meredith, was at the altar again, this time for real. She became the bride of Richard Berger, an accountant who now juggles figures for such 20th Century-Fox TV shows as Batman and Lost in Space Comes now 'marriage 3 for Meredith. She has joined the cast of CBS-TV Petticoat Junction as BiHie Jo.

The Ideal, according to CBS, is for still another series co-starring Meredith and Mike as young -newly It's aA rather ironic. Meredith left stm another TV series to join the Petticoat Junction cast. The show was The Young Married, but Meredith played an unmarried. "Net Right" "And lour years ago, she laughs, "I was up for the role of Billie Jo but 1 didnt get past the casting director. He took one look at me and said, No, you're right for the rote." Since leaving My Three Sons, Meredith has appeared in a movie, the soon-to-be-released "Footsteps ia the Snow," and she has discovered that live TV soap opera "can be extremely helpful in learning to She has also discovered "the method." She was late for lunch because of her weekly method acting class.

"B's great fun," she re1 ported. "They teach you, for instance, how to play a love scene with an actor you've just met on the set for the first time. You look back in your life and pretend he's someone out of your past your first love, maybe." "But I guess," she lamented, "I wont have too much of an opportunity to use the method on Petticoat Junction. For one thing she knows Mike Minor, her new boy friend on the show That's ironic, too. He's the son of Don Fedderaon, producer of My Three Sons.
