Hidden Faces was a television soap opera that aired on NBC's daytime schedule from December 30, 1968, to June 27, 1969. The show was created by Irving Vendig, who also created the long-running Procter and Gamble serial The Edge of Night.
Some of the shows stars were Conard Fowkes, Louise Shaffer, Tony Lo Bianco, Stephen Joyce, and a very young Linda Blair.
The program aired at 1:30 p.m./12:30 Central, replacing Let's Make a Deal, which moved to ABC due to disputes between NBC and Deal packagers Stefan Hatos and Monty Hall. Facing the ABC Deal and CBS' As the World Turns, Hidden Faces performed poorly, and, unusual for daytime serials in that era, was pulled after only six months in favor of a game show, You're Putting Me On. Hidden Faces was the first of eight shows that aired in that timeslot between the Deal departure and the expansion of Days of Our Lives to a hour in length on April 21, 1975; only Three on a Match lasted longer than a year there.
