The Odd Couple

Mariska (then 2 years old) with English actor Arthur Treacher when she came along on the Merv Griffin Show with her mother Jayne Mansfield and her brothers. Mariska took quite a liking to Arthur, creating their own rapport that Merv even quipped "You remember the odd couple". Sadly Arthur died in the 1970s and Jayne died a year later after her appearance on the show. Merv later on created Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy before dying a few years ago. I do wonder if Mariska and Merv ever crossed paths since then and before his death?
