Katey Sagal in Season 3
You recognize her now, either from Married… With Children or Sons of Anarchy, but back in 1973, she wasn’t as famous. The versatile star is also known for Futurama, Lost, and Boston Legal, but perhaps if it wasn’t for her small role in Columbo, she might not have become so successful.

She played Nelson Hayward’s secretarial team in “Candidate for Crime.” There might have been a little bit of nepotism (help from her family) involved in landing this particular role, though. The episode was directed by her father, Boris Sagal, who was also at the helm for “Greenhouse Jungle” from Columbo Season 2.
