ABOVE PHOTO: Gretchen Corbett returned to the Rockford Files to play Jim Rockford's attorney Beth (Davenport) Van Zandt - The new last name to reflect her marriage to a fellow attorney. Gretchen was just turning 50 years old in this 1996 Rockford Files TV Movie and looked pretty damn good!
ABOVE PHOTO: One of the special sexiness to the Rockford Files was the TV show's ability to use very sexy and attractive older women in series. So many TV shows like to use 20 year old female models but the Rockford Files always found mature beautiful women to guest star in their show. If the Frame Fits was no exception. The very sexy Dyan Cannon played Jim Rockford's love interest Jess Wilding (IRS Agent). Dyan Cannon was born in 1937 and was almost 60 years old in this episode.

This is probably my favorite Rockford Files TV film. It's excellent. Dyan Cannon and Garner are great together. And I like every episode and TV film which features Beth.
The mansion is a house on pt dume a hop away from paradise cove. Not sure who owns it but have seen it in a bunch of stuff. A friend invited me to come whilst he was there working on a “Lucifer” episode.
