One of my all-time favorites: The Glass Bottom Boat with Rod Taylor, Doris Day, Arthur Godfrey, Paul Lynde, and the couple who played the Kravitzes on Bewitched. Although Paul Lynde stole the show by being himself and the movie was completely shallow, Taylor played Doris Day’s romantic interest/leading man perfectly. I was about 11 when I watched it with my parents the first time. We laughed so hard it hurt.
God rest his soul.

Was hooked on reruns of his old TV show, “Hong Kong”, when I was young, in the early 70’s. One of the reasons I became a zoomie, and a “Jet-setter”, so I could see the world.

I did, too. I recently DVR’d it but haven’t watched it yet. Last saw it 20 years ago. I wonder what became of the luscious little blonde number he hung out with....or was she barbecued by the Morlocks? Never had heard that Taylor was an Australian.

Damn.... good actor, always liked his work. “The Birds” is still one of my favorites.
Remember “The Bearcats”? Short-lived tv series, but he was in it.
RIP Rod.

Man! Is MY face red! Didn’t realize the blonde was Yvette Mimeux. Another luscious little sweetheart was France Ngyuen in SOUTH PACIFIC.

Love him in “Young Cassidy” about the playwright Sean O’Casey. Also starred Maggie Smith and Julie Christie (right before she hit it big).

One of my favorite actors. He was never as big a star as he should have been.
