Alice Playten (Harriet, or the bitch in the bomb shelter) went on to Broadway and appeared in National Lampoon's Lemmings with John Belushi, Chevy Chase, Christopher Guest and others and appeared in Legend with Tom Cruise. Also, I've seen Miles Chapin's name on a bunch of movies. Offhand, that's all I can think of. Might want to check imdb, which this is.

Alice Playten was the baby-sitter in Lost Saucer in the '70s, Saturday morning Sid and Marty Krofft show, with Jim Nabors and Ruth Buzzi as the aliens.

Then later I see her on Frasier as a girlfriend of Martin Crane's.

The Krofft brothers liked her and wanted her in their "Lost Saucer" show after they heard her sing the "Funshine Saturday on ABC" jingle in the mid-1970s. She did a lot of voice work in cartoons. Her voice was also used as the demon's voice in "The Amityville Horror II" movie. She had a long career in show business from the '60s up to 2009. She passed away in 2011.

She did a famous commercial for Alka Seltzer about a bride who couldn't cook.

One of the boys looked like a VERY young Robby Benson (b. 1956), but unless the credits were wrong or he was playing under an assumed name, I guess it was just a coincidence.
