Martin Milner and George Maharis in Route 66 (CBS, 1961 publicity photo)

Martin Milner and Mamie Van Doren in Sex Kittens Go to College (Allied Artists, 1960)

When the final chapter on Martin Milner is writ in Hollywood history, it must be noted thus:

He also had a surprising talent for filling out a banana hammock.

Which is just as, if not more, important.
