Bogart, Douglas, Brenner, Peck, Garner... and no one in sight to replace them. I'm hearing George Jones singing "Whose Gonna Fill Their Shoes" in my head...

    Born in 1935...gets his first starring role in a hit TV series in 1959....he was 24 years old! WOW, what a remarkable career. He was such a potent physical presence in WWWest. He was a TV only actor who had rare and enduring Steve McQueen type "cool". He was always the coolest guy on the screen. One of a kind.

    I grew up with Robert Conrad during the wild wild West I was 9 to 13 years of age from 1965 to 1969. He was my television idol and I looked up to him and his character James T West. I remember there was a conflict between The Wild Wild West and The Man from Uncle; they overlapped each other; the last half of The Wild West and the first half of The Man from Uncle conflicted with each other..... well for me The Wild Wild West won out and I never really watched an episode of The Man from Uncle, but I watched every single episode of The Wild Wild West!!!
    Thank You Robert Conrad for making my childhood exciting. God Bless

"Toes" (Joan's husband) would invite me over to play on their Hi-Ball court in the back yard. Bob was one of the most genuine guys I have ever met, and will always be one of my heroes of the screen.
