Future Hill Street Blues star Daniel J. Travanti was still billing himself as "Dan Travanty" when he appeared in this Gidget episode as UCLA photography major Tom Brighton. When Tom approaches Gidget (Sally Field) and compliments her on her "photogenic" face, she immediately falls in love with him--and assumes that he reciprocates. What Gidget doesn't know is that Tom is already engaged to one Penelope Peterson (Sabrina Scharf). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
