    Correction on the Previous Comment
    The two part Episode of Dr. Kildare that featured Yvette Mimieux was called "Tiger,Tiger." (The title of a famous poem) It was one of the highest rated shows of the year, which I believe was 1963. Miss Mimieux played a beautiful epileptic and she died having a seizure while surfing, which her doctor had warned her not to do.

    Oh, the heartbreak! Oh the teenage hormones! Oh, how the ratings soared!
