Bright Star, also known as The Irene Dunne and Fred MacMurray Show, is a charming radio comedy-drama that centers around Susan Armstrong (played by Irene Dunne), the editor of a struggling newspaper called the Hillsdale Morning Star, and George Harvey (played by Fred MacMurray), an idealistic star reporter who often conflicts with his editor over stories. With a delightful rapport between Dunne and MacMurray, both of whom have excellent comedic timing, the show focuses on their attempts to keep the newspaper in business despite facing financial difficulties.< / p > < p > Broadcasted between 1952 and 1953, Bright Star aired a total of 52 episodes that each lasted 30 minutes. The show was syndicated by Ziv and featured announcers Harry von Zell and, later, Wendell Niles. It is worth mentioning that Irene Dunne, best known for her films with Cary Grant, stopped acting in 1952 to focus on her position as alternate U.N. delegate of the General Assembly in 1959, a role given to her by President Eisenhower. Meanwhile, Fred MacMurray gained fame as the patriarch in the TV show " My Three Sons" from 1960 to 1972 and starred in several Disney films.
