Russell Johnson was a bombardier for 44 pacific theater missions in a B25 during WWII.
He was hurt when he had to bail out or crashed.
I remember Johnson was in several “B” science fiction movies.
I saw Russell Johnson guest-starring on “Big Valley”, Tina Louise on “Bonanza” (I think, or “Gunsmoke”), I saw Dawn Wells on “Bonanza” playing a lovely Indian girl who marries a white man, I’ve seen Jim Baccus, on some shows and movies, one of them recently, was a rerun of a show on METV (could’ve been “Rockford Files” or “Chips”, but couldn’t remember which! It was recently, though. I’ve seen Bob Denver on “Dobie Gillis”, but really didn’t see the whole episode, or the whole show regularly. I believe I’d seen both Alan Hale jr. on “Rifleman” (I think) or on one of the old western shows on METV. I don’t know If I saw the lady who played Mrs. Howell, but I think it was in an old movie. But I know I’d seen several of the cast members in guest roles in other shows, particularly the westerns!
