Trivia
Over thirty actors auditioned for the lead role, with William Shatner the eventual winner, though he then declined it. James Franciscus was also offered the role, but had committed himself to another (eventually unmade) series at the time.

Correction on the Previous Comment

The two part Episode of Dr. Kildare that featured Yvette Mimieux was called "Tiger,Tiger." (The title of a famous poem) It was one of the highest rated shows of the year, which I believe was 1963. Miss Mimieux played a beautiful epileptic and she died having a seizure while surfing, which her doctor had warned her not to do.

Oh, the heartbreak! Oh the teenage hormones! Oh, how the ratings soared!
