Miss Cartwright is still with us, of course. She is a professional photographer and mother of two today. Her website is packed with interesting memorabilia of her career as an actress and model, along with samples of her current pursuits.
When you have already received your initial solicitation letter from the AARP and probably collected your first unsolicited discount at the drug store from a modern-day teenybopper as a reward for looking as if you are on the way down the hill, rather than still walking up it, you are allowed an occasional thought of your long past adolescence.
I’m not in AARP country yet! (Angela Cartwright is some 13 years older than me.) Still, your point is well taken.
I agree that the best part of the show was the interaction between the robot and Dr. Smith. But my main recollection of Lost in Space is waiting week after week for them to finally get off that planet. It seems they blew the budget on the first episode.
Kids. They don't apprciate the classics.
The “mockery of panic” run in circles quote originated in WWII...
Billy Mumy did return to Earth. In the episode called "Return from Outer Space", a Christmas show in which Will Robinson is transferred through an alien teleporter back to a small town on Earth at Christmastime to get some critically needed Carbon tetrachloride. That was a few years before the Apollo 8 Christmas Eve television broadcast from around The Moon, but I remember that episode touched our hearts in much the same way.
Don’t forget Jeri Ryan. Hubba, hubba.
Marta Kristen, Angela Cartwright, June Lockhart, and Mark Goddard all had cameo parts in the Lost in Space movie. I still think that Billy Mumy should have played the adult Will Robinson in the movie.
And “Friends” missed a huge laugh line by not having Joey comment that he could have played Don West.
The only reason I didn’t miss an episode is because I was forever hoping the robot would pinch Dr. Smith’s head off........
“Met all but Visitor and Jackson, but I’m trying.”
Those two smart enough to get restraining orders? LOL! ;)
For some reason I remembered the carbon tetrachloride and not the Christmas part. I also remember that they did eventually move the spaceship to another planet right before they got cancelled. IIRC it was a very dark planet where you couldn’t see anything. Both shows were budget minimizers.
I was at work yesterday, remebering this thread, and slapped my forehead for not thinking of 7 of 9. What was I thinking?
Also, Pamela Hensley and most definetly Erin Gray, of Buck Rogers In The 25th Century.
