Who is Ben Alexander?

Ben is best remembered as Frank Smith, Sgt. Joe Friday's sidekick on Dragnet.

He had a major role in All's Quiet on the Western Front. He was a child actor for many years.

As I recall, his final role was as a police desk sergeant on an ABC show whose name I don't remember. Because he had that role/commitment, he was unable to join with Jack Webb in the resurrection of Dragnet ca. 1968, so Webb got Harry Morgan instead.

Johnny Olson hosted a radio show in NYC in the early 50s. Our family was in the audience and he invited my mom onstage and did a short interview with her. Hadn't thought about that in years. Thanks for bringing back a memory.
