''Hidden Faces'' is an American soap opera that aired on NBC from December 30, 1968 to June 27, 1969. The series was created by Irving Vendig, who also created the long-running Procter & Gamble serial ''The Edge of Night''. The serial focused on a law firm that was dealing with a high profile murder case throughout its 127-episode run; the main romantic angle had the firm's senior partner, Arthur Adams, becoming involved with client Kate Logan, a female surgeon accused of murder, which Adams and partner Nick Turner acquitted her of. Charles Fisher was the producer of the program, which was an in-house NBC production.〔https://books.google.com/books?id=RXQNIs12SzQC&pg=PA121&lpg=PA121&dq=hidden+faces+nbc&source=bl&ots=PhUp7KEDHB&sig=WUNH-EmJyPhsDKwm8FNkTCWAPYw&hl=en&sa=X&ei=u6aIVITTIcamNsDFgYAJ&sqi=2&ved=0CEAQ6AEwCA#v=onepage&q=hidden%20faces%20nbc&f=false〕〔https://archive.org/stream/soapworld00lagu#page/384/mode/2up〕 The show was an production of NBC, and was the only NBC-owned soap opera at the time. (The network was later to own ''How to Survive a Marriage'' and to purchase ''The Doctors'' from that show's sponsor Colgate-Palmolive.) The show's leading stars were Conard Fowkes as Adams, Gretchen Walther as Logan, and Tony Lo Bianco as Turner. Others in the cast inclulded Linda Blair (child actress who was later nominated for an Academy award) Robin Braxton, Ludi Claire, Betsy Durkin, Joseph Daly, Rita Gam, Lloyd Hollar, Stephen Joyce, John Karlen, Nat Pollen, future Oscar winner Roy Scheider, Louise Shaffer, and Grethen Walther. ==Broadcast history== ''Hidden Faces'' replaced ''Let's Make a Deal'' at 1:30 p. m. (12:30 Central) after disputes between NBC and the packagers of ''Let's Make a Deal'' Stefan Hatos and Monty Hall caused the game/participation show to move to ABC. Facing the ABC ''Let's Make a Deal'' and CBS' ''As the World Turns'', ''Hidden Faces'' performed poorly and, unusual for daytime serials in that era, was pulled after only six months in favor of the Bill Leyden-hosted game ''You're Putting Me On''. With almost all of the fans of ''Let's Make a Deal's'' following their show to ABC, ''Hidden Faces'' could not get a foothold among viewers, since soap opera fans instinctively preferred the then-top-rated ''As the World Turns.'' ''Hidden Faces'' was the first of eight programs that NBC put in the timeslot of Let's Make a Deal between its departure and the expansion of ''Days of Our Lives'' to an hour on April 21, 1975. Of those eight shows, only ''Three on a Match'' lasted longer than a year. No episodes of this program are known to still exist, the tapes having almost certainly been erased by NBC, per the standard practices of that time. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hidden Faces」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
