MONDAY
Today's guest star is Ruta Lee playing Rita Marlowe in "A Woman Lost." Rita was an old friend of Ben's whom he hadn't seen in many years. He found her working in a saloon, in a pitiful state of health, and brought her back to the Ponderosa. Unbeknownst to Ben, Rita had gone through a terrible traumatic experience. It was only at the Ponderosa that she could begin to process it.
