Yeast extract, also called Baker's yeast extract, without the word autolyzed, is a similar product which also is a mixture of amino acids and peptides, carbohydrates, in which the cell walls of the yeast have been ruptured and separated from the proteins.
James Garner, the wry and handsome leading man who slid seamlessly between television and the movies but was best known as the amiable gambler Bret Maverick in the 1950s western âMaverickâ and the cranky sleuth Jim Rockford in the 1970s series âThe Rockford Files,â died on Saturday night at his home in Los Angeles. He was 86.
For the first season, James Garner played Bret Maverick in the majority of the stories. On July 29 and August 6, 1957, before the series went went before the camera, the studio had produced screen tests with the intention of hiring someone to play the role of Bart Maverick, Bret's brother. In the screen tests, James Garner played the role of Bret Maverick and Don Durant as Bart Maverick. (Rod Taylor also played the role of Bart Maverick for the August 6, 1957 screen tests.) Les Martinson was the director. Jack Kelly ended up getting the role, not Durant or Taylor.
