Richard
Diamond, Private Detective
starred popular big-screen actor Dick Powell as
the sophisticated and sharp-tongued gumshoe. Joining Diamond was girlfriend
Helen Asher, played by Virginia Gregg, who also voiced Betty Lewis on
Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar.
The series started in 1949 on NBC but eventually moved to ABC in 1951 and on to CBS in 1953, enjoying a well-received run. Powell, a Hollywood song-and-dance man, put his unique stamp on the end of each episode by crooning a tune to his Park Avenue gal.
