Our Five Daughters

[1] The show was written by Leonard Stadd and directed by Paul Lammers, and aired for a half-hour, five days a week, at 3:30 PM EST, right after Young Doctor Malone.

The show starred former silent film icon Esther Ralston, whose career had faded after refusing to sleep with a studio mogul; she had lost most of her money and had been working as a sales clerk before finding some acting roles here and there.

Ralston played Helen Lee, mother of five daughters, whose husband Jim (Michael Keene) was critically injured in an accident.

The late Jacqueline Courtney, who played daughter Ann Lee, was also a popular actress on other daytime shows such as The Edge of Night, Another World, and One Life to Live.

Other performers included Janis Young, future writer Ralph Ellis, Wynne Miller, and Edward Griffith.
