Sad news: Robert Haimer, Billy's partner in Barnes & Barnes died at 69! Bonus Question:What is their most famous song?

Fun Fact: Mumy was in the 80's remake of 1 AND he did BOTH reboots of It's A Good Life: a cameo in the movie and a middle-aged Anthony on TZ 3.0! Anthony's daughter was Billy's daughter!

7 for 9. Saw him at a Star Trek/LIS convention, small stage with only about 70 people gathered,
the crowd was at other end with the Trek people. I asked Harris about residuals, he exploded
and cursed me out. Holy crap, Dr. Smith cursed me! dropping the effete affectation and
talking in pure Bronx.
Mumy stifled a laugh and went over to Harris and calmed him down, while the other actors
rolled their eyes.
I would have preferred him calling me a "bubble headed booby" but hearing Harris talk in
his native Bronx tongue was worth it. I still love him as Dr. Smith.

Yep, Harris wasn't gay like Dr. Smith! Fun Fact: He would only do the LIS movie if he were Smith, so they got Gary Oldman instead!

I only went to about 3 sci-fi conventions of the 80's and while it was great and fun it was a turnoff of seeing fans asking ridiculous questions. As for Jonathan Harris Dr. Smith was a role and many actors of that era didn't get residuals.

Since then I have looked into Harris's background. He was basically just another good actor
looking to get by when he discovered that filling the "effete/gay" character niche resulted
in a steady income stream, like Franklin Pangborn famously did in many 1930/1940's
movies(The Bank Dick etc). He created one of the greatest characters in TV history
in Doctor Smith.

"...it was a turnoff of seeing fans asking ridiculous questions."

If that was directed at me you'd be wrong. Harris jumped on me before I could finish my query
and both the audience and cast's reaction was he was wrong. I had a very nice back and
forth with Bill Mumy, at the end I asked him not to wish me into the cornfield at Harris's
behest which even Harris laughed at. I would note the camera didn't do Marta Kristen
- "Judy Robinson" - justice, she is one of the most regally beautiful women I have ever seen.

I remember at a sci-fi convention I saw the legendary Jane Wyatt and a fan actually asked her what is it like to have sex with a Vulcan. Ms. Wyatt handled the question with class but I saw some people can't distinguish fantasy from reality.

Ok Corey, now I see your point. The mutt who asked that question is probably 35 years old
and lives in his mom's basement.

5/9 Billy Mumy was a better child star than Ronny Howard.

I always wondered why Ronny never did an episode of Matlock since Andy Griffith was an executive producer on the show and had several of his co-stars from The Andy Griffith Show on Matlock.

Ron basically retired from acting and became a director and co owner of Imagine. He only returned to Return To Mayberry out of favor for Andy Griffith.

Yes, and a Christmas sequel was planned, but they couldn't work it out with Ron & Andy!

5/9. Not too good on this one. I like how actors like Mumy will do shows like "Toon in with ME" and tell people about their early acting gigs.
