4. Classic comedy gold

You can still find many episodes of Topper on YouTube and, although they are mostly in poor quality, the comedy still holds up thanks in no small part to the perfect comedic timing of their mortal foil Cosmo Topper played to perfection by Leo G. Carroll.

George and Marion Kirby were played by real-life married couple Robert Sterling and Anne Jeffreys. Jeffreys died just last year at 94 while Sterling died in 2006. They met in New York in 1949 while each was performing in separate stage plays and married in 1951, lasting until his death 55 years later.
