“the violent death of actor Bob Crane remains a mystery to this day.”
Really did and do love Bob Crane. Loved Hogan’s Heroes, a show filled with cute guys. I loved them all, even Colonel Klink!
I watched a whole true crime TV show about his murder, but all I can remember is they really didn’t have much to work with, so they just made it all super creepy. I was sorry I watched it.
Bob Crane’s long time friend was prosecuted in Arizona, I think, but he was found not guilty.
Those two did some weird things together, not homosexual, but really weird. The prosecutor put forth the notion that the friend was jealous of Crane’s success and money but the jury did not think so.
"Hogan's Heroes" was created by Albert Ruddy....who later produced a little film called "The Godfather".
Paramount+ has a very good 10-episode mini-series about the making of "The Godfather" - "The Offer" - and VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
