Wayne Rogers was a regular participant as well. The only year when Susan Blakely was mentioned was 1977 (LA Times, 2-5-1977, page 27). If that’s the correct year, Rosalind Russell’s photos were there to memorialize her; she had suffered from rheumatoid arthritis in her later years and advocated for research and funding.
What's in Getty Images seems to track all of that. They have a selection of images from the 1977 telethon. They don't have Susan on set, but they do have her there, and they do have the same set, and they do have Allen in the same suit. (And I think they have Susan in the same shirt.)
