At Home With Billie Burke was a TV talk show starring Billie Burke which aired on the DuMont Television Network from June 1951 to the spring of 1952.

Preservation status[edit]

Little is known of the series, even if it was a daytime or prime time series, except that one episode survives at the Paley Center for Media.[citation needed]

The UCLA Film and Television Archive has one episode of another TV series The Billie Burke Show (c. 1958), possibly syndicated, directed by John F. Link Sr. and produced by Talbot Lewis for Seawalla and Golden Nugget Productions. In this latter show, sponsored by Candlelight Cosmetics, Burke is seen responding to letters sent to her by viewers.[1]

The Billie Burke Show was also the name of Burke's CBS Radio show which aired Saturday mornings from April 3, 1943, to September 21, 1946.
