Mona McCluskey (sitcom, starring Juliet Prowse)

    (CBS Primetime, 1965 - 1966)

    [Miss Prowse, a broadway/film star, played a movie star named
     Mona Jackson who is married to a serviceman whose last name
     is McCluskey; in order to assuage the pride of her husband
     she agrees to let him support her on his meager salary and
     live modestly in an apartment with him...(her money goes
     right into the bank); based upon this improbable premise,
     most of the plots involve schemes she initiates to improve 
     his income -- a rather strange situation which the audience 
     must have felt hard-pressed to identify with...her husband 
     was played by Denny (Scott) Miller]
