    Last Resort, The

    Share
    Facebook Twitter Pinterest WhatsApp Reddit Email

    1 9 7 9 – 1 9 8 0 (USA)
    15 x 30 minute episodes

    Stephanie Faracy played Gail Collins, a wealthy divorcee trying to cut it as a pastry chef in a busy Catskill resort.

    She was up against Kevin (John Fujioka), the hot-headed oriental chef who communicated with a cleaver, Murray, a hostile and overbearing maitre d’ (Robert Costanzo) and a group of waiters made up of college kids who may someday run the country but couldn’t be trusted to keep the salt out of the sugar bowls or soup out of the customer’s hair.

    Michael Lerner (Larry Breeding) was a would-be doctor earning money for medical school, Duane Kaminsky (Zane Lasky) was a would-be scientist who tended to form meaningful relationships with lab rats, Jeffrey Barron (Ray Underwood) was a rick-kid snob, and Zach Comstock (Walter Olkewicz) was a sex-crazed slob who often made light of his own weight issues.
