A spare-time painter who takes his hobby seriously, Michael Ansara listens to criticism of a still life from his wife, Barbara Eden, in his studio at their home in Sherman Oaks, Calif., Jan. 10, 1964. On the wall are portraits which Mike painted of his mother, left, and his sister. The ranch-style home of the couple has a swimming pool and a garden, where Barbara enjoys working. (AP Photo/David F.
