Star of one of my favorite shows as a kid.
I thought he died a long time ago. Must have just been out of sight for a long time.

Times change.
I just saw the header of this and went "huh".
I am a marine geophysicist, and, back in the day, spent a significant amount of time at sea on the R/V Robert D Conrad, a research ship which was retired in the late 1980s with over a million miles of research track lines. So, not remembering this Robert Conrad, I had a "What the F..." moment.
Not that this is at all relevant to the memory of someone who appears to be a very good man and actor - but it did bring me up short.
I'm probably older than most of the posters here, so .... I loved watching Robert Conrad playing James West on the TV show "The Wild, Wild West". He was really good looking. RIP Robert Conrad.
I remember well, and years later he was very competitive on the Superstars where actors from the three networks competed in Olympic style events. Bob was in it to win it!Quote:
