Mr. Belvedere — the quirky sitcom about the culture clash between a suburban Pittsburgh family, headed by Bob Uecker and Ilene Graff, and their posh English housekeeper, Mr. Belvedere (Christopher Hewett) — turned 40 this year. Headed for cancellation after three seasons, the efforts of a devoted fanbase kept it on the air for three more, and today, it remains one of the most iconic fish-out-of-water TV shows of all time.

ReMIND Magazine recently caught up with Ilene Graff, who played the kind, law school-attending mother Marsha Cameron Owens. Graff reminisced about her first day on set, the special keepsakes she held onto from filming, and how she still keeps in touch with her TV children.
