Look Up and Live
Look Up and Live is a 30-minute US religious television anthology series. Produced by and aired on CBS from 1954-1979, it was a Sunday-morning show that covered religious issues from a myriad of perspectives.
John M. Gunn was the editor of six plays that were turned into episodes.[1][2]
In 1979, this series and Lamp Unto My Feet (both of which were cancelled early that year, along with Camera Three, to make room for CBS News Sunday Morning) were combined into a new series called For Our Times, a weekly religious talk show which aired until 1988.
There were a number of narrators and hosts, among them Mahalia Jackson, Merv Griffin, Eddie Fisher (singer), Eydie Gormé, and Ed Sullivan.
Guest stars included Gene Hackman, Dick Van Dyke, James Earl Jones, Jack Klugman, Sal Mineo, Billy Dee Williams, Theodore Bikel, Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee, and, in two of his earliest performances, Warren Beatty.
