Family Affair
[
edit
]
In 1966, Keith landed the role of Uncle Bill Davis on
CBS
's popular television situation comedy
Family Affair
. This role earned him three
Emmy Award
nominations for
Best Actor in a Comedy Series
.
[15]
The show made him a household name. It was in the vein of such successful 1960s and 1970s sitcoms that dealt with widowhood and/or many
single-parent
issues such as
The Andy Griffith Show
,
My Three Sons
,
The Beverly Hillbillies
,
Petticoat Junction
,
One Day at a Time
,
Here's Lucy
,
Julia
,
The Courtship of Eddie's Father
,
The Brady Bunch
,
The Partridge Family
, and
Sanford and Son
. During its first season in 1966,
Family Affair
was an immediate hit, ranking number 15 in the
Nielsen ratings
.
[16]
By the end of its fifth season, in 1971,
Family Affair
still had high ratings, but was cancelled after 138 episodes.
Kathy Garver
, who co-starred as Keith's teenaged niece, Cissy, on
Family Affair
, indicated that Keith said: "I'm a cultural Irishman, don't you know, I'm a cultural Irishman." Garver explained: "But he went through many manifestations and changes of character, during the five years that we shot. At first, he was up and then his second year, he was going through a divorce, and then, the third year, he met somebody else, and he became more anecdotal and told stories that he loved kids, and he was very outspoken about those that he did not like. So, he was a very interesting character and it was Brian and Sebastian Cabot [who played Mr. French] had such a different style of acting and that's another reason I think that
Family Affair
was so popular and stayed as it did. Both excellent actors, both coming from very different methods and styles of acting with Sebastian was more from the classical style and he would take home his script and he would dutifully look at every single word and have it to perfection, and then Brian would come in and say, 'Oh what do we have today? Let me see the scene, uh-huh, uh-huh, let's go!' So he was very improvisational, motion of the moment. And those two different styles really worked out for each of them very well."
[17]
During the series' run Keith appeared in
Reflections in a Golden Eye
(1967) with
Marlon Brando
,
With Six You Get Eggroll
(1968) with
Doris Day
,
Krakatoa: East of Java
(1968) for Cinerama, and
Gaily, Gaily
(1969) for Norman Jewison. He had leading roles in
Suppose They Gave a War and Nobody Came?
(1970) for Cinemrama and
The McKenzie Break
(1970).
[18]
In 1970, Keith moved to Hawaii.
[14]
Keith made
Scandalous John
(1971) for Disney,
Something Big
(1972) with Dean Martin and director
Andrew McLaglen
, and the TV movie
Second Chance
(1972).
[19]

]
Keith went on to star as
pediatrician
Dr. Sean Jamison in the NBC sitcom

(also known as
The Little People
). The series was cancelled in 1974 after two seasons. "The show ended because it was bad, not because of Hawaii," said Keith.
[14]
Keith also starred in the role of Steven "The Fox" Halliday in the six-part television
miniseries
,
The Zoo Gang
(1974), about a group of former underground

Centennial
(1979), and
The Chisholms
(1979). In 1992, he starred in the unsold, ABC half-hour pilot
The Streets of Beverly Hills
.
Keith spoke fluent Russian, which led to his casting as a Russian in two roles: as a Soviet scientist in the film
Meteor
(1979) with
Natalie Wood
(who also spoke fluent Russian and played his translator), and as the Soviet premier in the NBC miniseries
World War III
(1982) with
