From imdb’s bio:
“In 1971, he was involved in a freak accident at Mammoth Mountain, CA, when the tip of a ski pole pierced his heart. He made an amazing recovery and was back at work filming in Spain two months later.”
Amazing indeed!
wow tough hombre- we still watch his old TV series from time to time- He’s going to be missed by many who grew up watching him for sure-
I heard that! And he survived!
Ski poles are blunt, the trauma seems unimaginable.
