Ironside Tidbits

Robert T. Ironside (Raymond Burr) was a 25 year veteran of the San Francisco Police Department who had risen to Chief of Detectives. An attempted assassination left him paralysed from the waist down and thus wheelchair bound.

Unwilling to accept the infirmity as an end, he persuaded Commissioner Randall (Gene Lyons) to allow him to fight crime as a special consultant. Two former assistants, Sgt. Ed Brown (Don Galloway) and Policewoman Eve Whitfield (Barbara Anderson) joined his team.

A young reformed deliquent named Mark Sanger (Don Mitchell) became his aide and bodyguard. Later, Sanger would become a lawyer.

Ironside would travel and work from a specially modified police van.

In 1971 Barbara Anderson left after a contract dispute and Elizabeth Baur came onboard as Officer Fran Belding.

Dana Wynter appeared in a few episodes as Ironside’s love interest and then wife.

In 1993 they did a made for TV movie, “Return of Ironside” which reunited the entire cast, including both Anderson and Baur. By now Mark Sanger is a judge!
