April 19, 1987 –
The short-lived but critically acclaimed series, Duet, starring Mary Page Keller, Matthew Laurance, Allison La Placa, and Chris Lemmon, premiered on the Fox Network, on this date. The series was part of the original Sunday prime time line up for the network that launched in April 1987.
Alison La Placa was only hired to appear in two episodes, but the crew liked her and decided to keep her around. She gradually became the show’s breakout character and landed her own spinoff when this series was canceled.
