Helen gathers together the clever comments of her students and writes them up as a children’s book-which, surprise of surprises, is accepted by a major publisher. Problem is, Helen (or, to use her nom de plume, “Helene Alexian Dubois”) is so busy with rewrites and business conferences that she has no time for Andy, who is beginning to feel threatened by her success. Keith Andes guest-stars as Helen’s handsome editor Roger Bryant, while Elaine Joyce is hilarious as Mavis, a flashy “good-time gal” whom the disgruntled Andy dates on the rebound. Written by Doug Tibbles, “Helen the Authoress” originally aired on February 27, 1967., Andy’s jealous when Helen sells a children’s book to a publisher, then has to work closely with a handsome editor (Keith Andes). Mavis: Elaine Joyce. Flask: Laurie Main. Mosby: Tom Palmer. Helen: Aneta Corsaut.
