This has never happened in one of my contests before, but
@grapler135s wins it! 12 was the number for the 12 Days of Christmas!!
I think Rod Serling is brilliant, loved the Twilight Zone....Miniature was my favorite episode, with Robert Duvall. I met him at his alma mater, Principia College, when he returned to campus for a speaking engagement. He stayed to sign everything everyone put in front of him, and while he was signing for me, I mentioned that Miniature was my favorite of his work to him. He stopped, looked at me, and said "I'm glad you enjoyed that one. Not many people mention that, and I really loved working with Rod Serling. I had just done 'To Kill a Mockingbird ' and was getting started. I felt like Rod gave me a great chance since that was such a popular tv show at the time. I was living in New York with
Gene and
Dusty, and things really started taking off for me after that!" He thanked me, and I said "thank YOU, Mr. Duvall" to which he said "call me Bob!"
I mean, how many people in this world can call Gene Hackman by his first name? And how many fewer can call Dustin Hoffman "Dusty"?? And I think probably only one can say the three of them roomed together in New York while auditioning and waiting for their careers to take off!
Here is the photo from that day:
