Well what was Banacek's first name, i watched every episode, which in U.K. was usually every 3 weeks after Name of The Game and the one with James Fransiscus that I can't remember except he was blind, but I cannot ever remember knowing Banacek's 1st name.  Best character was the chauffeur though.

Was the love sick female Diane Weist?  i have seen her in so much lately and often wondered.  She is in Law and Order Special Victims Unit now.

Good point

Anyhow, what was Dianne Wiest's first TV role?  I have seen her in so much and do recall her as a young actress in a TV show.  None of the links I have checked seem to mention anything on TV in the mid 70's or around that time.

Christine Belford was the love interest. You should be able search for Dianne Wiest on imdb.com too.
