Bobby Sherman, the pop singer and Here Come the Brides actor whose image graced bedroom posters, lunch boxes and fan magazines as a heart-fluttering teen idol of the 1960s, has died. He was 81.
Sherman’s death was announced Tuesday by his second wife, Brigitte Poublon. It was revealed in March that he had been diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer.
“Bobby left this world holding my hand — just as he held up our life with love, courage, and unwavering grace through all 29 beautiful years of marriage. I was his Cinderella, and he was my Prince Charming,” she wrote.
Discovered at a Hollywood cast party when he was 20, Sherman got a big break when he was signed as a regular vocalist for the ABC musical variety show Shindig! in 1964. He spent about 16 months on the program, which showcased the top acts and songs of the day, through January 1966.
The blue-eyed, brown-haired Sherman had made his acting debut as a kidnapped son of a millionaire businessman on a 1965 episode of ABC’s Honey West, then played a singing surfer in the mold of Frankie Avalon on NBC’s The Monkees in 1967 before landing on Here Come the Brides.
Sherman portrayed the youngest of three brothers, the shy, stammering logger Jeremy Bolt, on the 1968-70 Screen Gems/ABC show. A “Western with no guns,” it was loosely based on the Mercer Girls, who were brought to the boom town of Seattle in the 1860s to work as teachers, and inspired by the classic Stanley Donen musical Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954).

Marge is devestated l.
Rest In Peace, Bobby.
RIP
He was one of my hearthrobs as a kid! He seemed so sweet, too, besides handsome with that crooked little smile. RIP, sweet Bobby.
Julie, Julie, Julie do you love me?
Around 1970 my parents bought me a Bobby Sherman album for my birthday. It was my first non-childrens album. I asked for Steppenwolf Gold. It was their compromise to my louder taste in music. My mother became a huge fan of Sherman. When I finally got money to buy my own album, I bought Alice Cooper’s Killer, much to my parents chagrin. My rebellious years were short-lived however as interests changed quickly at that age.
My mom loved Sherman.
He was one of my crushes as a kid also.
Easy come, easy go.
He was really an icon.
He had a second career as a paramedic and deputy sheriff.

Heartbreaking news. Loved that guy! He was THE CUTEST!!!
RIP Bobby Sherman!
That was also David Soul's first series. Also Mark Lenard's first nighttime series.
It lasted only two seasons.

Regards,
I still remember that my two older sisters wanted Honeycomb cereal because they pasted a vinyl Bobby Sherman 45 record on the back. You had to cut it out of the box and poke a hole in the middle.
It played! And played, and played, and played in our house.
That’s the still image provided with the YT video.
Sad news. There was more innocence in public culture then.
