  "account": "Actress Gloria Reuben appeared in the 1980s reboot of Alfred Hitchcock Presents, where she played the role of Pam, a bank teller. During the Season 2 episode \"World's Oldest Motive,\" she unwittingly gives an unfaithful husband, played by Star Trek: TNG actor Dwight Schultz, the cash he needs to arrange his wife's murder. Reuben's character is initially oblivious to Schultz's character, David Powell, but becomes shocked when Powell's second thoughts cause him to behave erratically. Both Reuben and Schultz appeared in Alfred Hitchcock Presents at early stages of their careers. Reuben, who later gained fame for her role in ER, and Schultz, who became a Trekkie fan favorite as Reginald Barclay, have since pursued their own acting niches. Reuben has found roles in TV dramas like Mr. Robot and Boston Blue, where she plays District Attorney Mae Silver. Silver's status as the matriarch of the Reagan family allows Reuben to embody her values of faith, family, and service.",
  "summary": "Before portraying the district attorney on \"Boston Blue,\" Gloria Reuben acted alongside this \"Star Trek: TNG\" fan favorite in \"Alfred Hitchcock Presents.\"",
