Bob Denver, whose portrayal of goofy first mate Gilligan on the 1960s television show "Gilligan's Island," made him an iconic figure to generations of TV viewers, has died, his agent confirmed Tuesday. He was 70.
Denver, who underwent quadruple heart bypass surgery earlier this year, died at Wake Forest University Baptist Hospital in North Carolina, according to agent Mike Eisenstadt. Denver's death was first reported by "Entertainment Tonight."
No! Wasn't/Isn't her name Tuesday Weld?
Goodbye Bob.
Sorry! I was thinking of Zelda! my bad....
Like, I'm getting all misty.
RIP
What a bummer.
I was hoping you wouldn't bring that up.
Sid and Marty Krofft were on some seriously strong acid in the 70's.
Sorry, I was thinking of Zelda.
Me, too, He and I were practically the same age.

I'll never forget a screening of the 3d flick from the 1950s I went to ages ago now called It Came From Outer Space. Russell Johnson who played the Professor had a bit part in it and when he appeared on the screen a whole bunch in the theatre yelled out It's The Professor!!!
Work?!?!
I remember all of them. Can't remember the rich kid's name, though.
My face is bright red....but at least now I'm thinking about Tuesday Weld.....
<< Anybody remember Maynard G. Krebbs? >>
Boy, I sure do.
"WORK??!"

Did anyone have him in the Howie Carr Death Pool?
So you like the vapid, high maintenance, tease but never give it up type, eh?
In real life I married a woman only one generation off the farm, so I'd take Marianne.
