TV: Lost In Space

 


I learned today of the passing into Ancestry of the actor Mark Goddard (1936 - 2023) at the age of 87.  Everyone idealizes Star Trek as the revolutionary SciFi series of the 1960's, but if Star Trek were Shakespeare, then Lost In Space was Joseph Kesselring, but I loved it non-the-less.  And truth be told, Mark Goddard was possible, perhaps even probably, my first actor crush!  He made my inner parts stir in ways that I could not understand, and self-conscious about.  Yes, folks, 6-year-olds have inner lives. 

Taking this opportunity to recognize all of the Actors in the main cast and account for the days.  From left to right:

Angela Cartwright, 1952 - , age 71
Mark Goddard, 1936 - 2023 (85)
Marta Kristen, 1944 - , age 79
Dick Tufeld (voice of Robot), 1926 - 2012 (85)
Jonathan Harris, 1914 - 2002 (87)
June Lockhart, 1925 - , age 98
Guy Williams, 1924 - 1989 (69)
Billy Mumy, 1954 - , age 69

Bless June Lockhart!
