Oh yes, remember it well.
Let’s not forget Bruce Lee, he stole the show on ‘Green Hornet’. He’d kick a couple of peoples butt’s every week, and occasionally break out the throwing stars. I had to have some throwing stars.
Same here.
“Lyle Waggoner”
I never knew he was in the running to be Batman! But, Holy Hashbrowns, Batman - was Lyle ever handsome! *SWOON*
RIP, Mr. West.
By all accounts he LOVED telling these stories to people, he told them all the time.... probably just to piss off the holier than thou types..
If i was in his shoes, I would have done the same...
Pour Alphabet Soup into it, to get the secret coded message. Heck, 50 years later, you STILL can't do that. Batman was simply far, far ahead of his time.
Growing up in Memphis, I remember this Saturday morning when Batman cane to town
I worked with him for 3 weeks in the 1990’s. He was polite, professional and on time evreyday.
I have no doubt that he was... but even back then , 60s -70s when all this was going on he talked about it. I guess most guys go though this, or would if they had the means, he did.
‘It was the Swinging Sixties with free love and women threw themselves at us,’ West said of the attention him and his co-stars will receive in an interview.
He and Burt Ward, his co-star who played Robin, would have ‘quickies’ with women in between scenes and while in his costume.
The actor said, years after the show: ‘Because of the physical limitations of the costume, you gotta have quickies.’
Offset, his sex life appeared even wilder.
West reportedly became a regular at orgies. Once, he and his friend and co-star Frank Gorshin - who played the villain, Riddler, in the Batman movies at the time - were banned from an orgy because they were mimicking the characters they played on television.
West said: ‘We walked in and it was an orgy. So I immediately went into the Batman character, and Frank went into the Riddler character, because we were getting the big giggles.
‘It was so funny to us, what we walked into. And we were kicked out. We were expelled from the orgy.’
Hey Diana, you might enjoy this. It’s a video of the screen tests of both Adam West and Burt Ward and Lyle Waggoner and Peter Deyell. Here’s the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-BHYo4U0M4
Regards,
West has a soft place in my heart.
In the late sixties, We were at a Hollywood gala/fundraiser and I happened to be talking to him and told him my four kids loved him.
He said “ Let’’s call them, so I can talk to them”. So we found a phone, he did just that and gave my four sweet and lasting memories for which I am thankful for.
eternally.
All on his own initiative.
Yeah. Whatever. It was all well covered in this terrific show...
The West was the best.
Go back to your Daily Mail.
Tie. Frank Gorshin’s Riddler.
When America was still America. Those were innocent times by far as compared to the recent 8 years of unpleasantness.
I met his son Hunter Anderson in the fall of 1978 who was playing volleyball at Santa Barbara City College. I was invited to go to party at the family’s Topanga Canyon home one weekend but didn’t end up going. Don’t know what he is up to these days.
JULIE NEWMAR - Best Temptress Ever
There was some talk of having Adam West play Batman’s father in some of the newer Batman movies. That would have been nice, but it never happened.
P4L
I thought Blue Light was a pretty decent show. Why did the author feel the need to take a swipe at Goulet? He was quite good in the series.
Goulet is/was known more as a singer, not an actor. It would be the same as if Andy Williams or Al Martino was the lead actor in a tv show (and yes, I know, Martino had a role in The Godfather).
