A nice man. Met him at a SciFi convention.

Believe he was the evil imperial emperor in “Battlestar Galactical”, the original series.

RIP.

Grandmama was Jeanette MacDonald’s sister.

Snap-Snap.

Christopher Hart (Thing) seems to still be alive.

Ted Cassidy played "Thing" - except in those few scenes in which he appeared as "Lurch." Are you saying that it was Hart's hand in those few scenes?

I think Cousin It was related to Jeremiah the Bullfrog. I couldn’t understand a single thing he said either. Never got the wine, though.

Nice pics here...

[Chode]

the bird is almost as big as he is

[DennisR]

Something to be avoided at all costs: a bullfrog who drinks wine.

[China Clipper]

Did he play the little sheriff in Clint Eastwoods’ “High Plains Drifter?

Is Carolyn Jones still with us?

I always kinda liked her, and that was even before... Well you know.

[Salamander]

‘Fraid not.

She died of cancer some years ago and lost her glorious mane of hair due to chemo.

I still love watching the reruns.

John Astin had the sexiest sideways maniacal smile, ever.

He’s still alive and teaching yoga.

He and Poe were the best things to ever come out of Bawlmer.

:)

[OKSooner]

Sorry to hear that, RIP. Carolyn as Morticia was Da Bomb, back before I even knew about that kinda stuff.

And John Astin was a cool Gomez, I'm happy to hear that he's still with us. Urbane, dapper, cool in general, especially when he was playing with his electric trains.

[Salamander]

Always had a pocket of lit cigars.

Bizarrely, there are multiple “warnings” on the reruns now.

Sex, violence, drug use.

What??

;D

[OKSooner]

People have no sense of humor these days. That’s what got Rocky and Bullwinkle, you know. :)

[Salamander]

LOL

I thought It was just a hand in a box.

But that was Thing.

[lowbridge]

No. That was billy curtis

John Astin is still kicking, thank God.

It's amazing that he still is after all this time.

The actors who played Gomez after him have had to be Latins (Raul Julia, Oscar Isaac).

[Salamander]

And I didn’t like either of them.
Anjelica Huston was no Tish, either.

In post 8 the normal photo of him reminds me of the Sheriff. I looked it up - Billy Curtis plays the sheriff but IMHO has a strong resemblance. (Curtis also was the head(?) munchkin in Wizard of Oz.)
