Lew Ayres

Dr Kildare AdvertisementThe show has many radio veterans in the dramatic roles. Ted Osborne plays Dr. Carough, chief of administration, who seems to be a thorn in the side of Dr. Kildare much of the time. Jane Webb plays Mary Lamont, who is a friend and confidant to Dr. Kildare. The fine radio actress Virginia Gregg is really a caution as the fussy, ramrod straight Nurse Parker. In fact, she's exactly 180 degrees opposite in personality from her radio role as the sultry, alluring and rich Helen Asher on Richard Diamond, Private Eye, which was also running in '49. Indeed, 1949 was a very good year for Miss Virginia Gregg, one of the great ladies of radio.

And Lionel Barrymore would be fuming that he's at the bottom of this bill. But not on Dr. Kildare--he plays Dr. Gillespie to the hilt, and offers up a continuing feast of dramatic delivery, feet firmly placed in the hallmark location of the bravura actor upstage.

Please also see Dr. Christian, Halls of Ivy, One Man's Family, The Goldbergs, Life with Luigi, Green Valley Line, Honest Harold, My Favorite Husband, Adventures of Uncle Jimmy, and the Adventures of Maisie for more human interest radio drama.

    I liked it a lot. Lew Ayers was fine as Kildare but Lionel Barrymore stole the show as Gillespie.

    Not a genre that I enjoy, but I really like this show.

    I enjoy the episodes. Incidentally, I'd also recommend Lionel Barrymore in the underrated Mayor Of The Town series.

    I enjoy the old “Dr. Kildare” radio shows. Cantankerous is a good description for Lionel Barrymore’s character. By the time the TV series was on in the early 1960s, Dr. Gillespie had morphed into a more empathetic character. I loved the TV series.

    I really enjoy it. Dr. Gillespie is such a grouch/old curmudgeon!
