- Jonathan Harris on Biography. Seems this is not easy to find. Jonathan was a friend of mine and after he passed away, his wife Gertrude was kind enough to let me know this episode of Biography would be featuring her late, great husband. Jonathan Harris was very much like the character you see on TV, but very gracious and considerate.
I was fortunate to have him in my life and miss him a great deal.
For those who have asked how I met Jonathan there is a story in progress about that at vermonter.com/meeting-childho...

87 years of life, 63 years of marriage, infinite number of smiles on countless fans' faces. Yes I would say Jonathan Harris' life was a life well lived.
I liked his character in lost in space
A life more meaningful than Irwin Allen.
What a tight wad miserable SOB.
He was a great friend as well. I miss him dearly, especially around the holiday season, when he used to send me a Christmas card, no matter where I was in the world. After awhile, I thought of him more as a family member than someone on a TV show. RIP Jonathan and Gertrude. Miss you both.
I WAS BORN IN 61
BOY I HATED HIM
This made me cry 😢❤
As a star struck kid, I met Jonathan Harris one day while he was shopping at Gelson's market in Encino, CA The guy was totally the way you see him, and I'll never forget it.
Ha! I too have run into two or three actors or musicians randomly in public.
Even Conan said he was Dr Smith....like the good Dr just stayed on after the show 🌹🦋💖😘
He was the real deal and loved his fans. Ironically, very down to earth and not 'lost in space'.
Wow, that is so nifty! 🙂
Although near 68 now, and was a teenager THEN - I was far too critical of him, and the show at the time. Now I think of him like other unappreciated actors. Good to hear you people love and miss him, as I do now!😣🤔😀
I haven't yet watched this entire biography, but I remember a reminiscence by Billy Mumy, who played Will Robinson on the TV show Lost in Space, that showed how considerate Jonathan Harris actually was to the "lesser lights" who worked on the show. According to Mumy, while other actors would often stoke their egos by insisting on doing their own stunts, Harris would never do his own stunts, no matter how simple they were. Some thought it was because he was too cowardly to do them, or at least was staying "in character" as Zachary Smith. But when Mumy asked him why he never did his own stunts, Harris replied, "Dear boy, never deprive a stuntman of a paycheck."
In my opinion, Harris was a great manipulator, who acted in the shadows to obtain sympathy from the other actors, notably Mumy, who as a child was easily manipulated.
@@diogocatalano9557 pure conjecture. Or projection, perhaps?
Read it again, I said that is my opinion. Actors like John Abbott didn´t like him either,@@Plisken65
“Anyone who didn’t like Lost In Space can kiss me bottom.” Jonathan Harris was brilliant. I couldn’t wait for the next episode growing up.
@Roary Calhoun426 I used to know a Rory Calhoun back in the 90's. ...Ever live in Whittier?
I agree, Jonathan Harris was always fun to watch. My brother and I would always watch Lost in Space every week.
Agree
My daddy thought Johnathan Harris was a bit too flamboyant to be on the black and white television in our home. Flamboyant equals... gonna turn the station.
@@curtisrobinson7962 he must have hated Elvis
As a kid in the 60's I LOVED Lost in Space. The space craze was everywhere and the show was extremely looked forward to. Thank you Jonathan for making my childhood better!!!
Also amazing that he helped shape the robot character. That took a lot of depth of thinking to come up with that stuff.
I remember an episode of EMERGENCY where on the intercom u heard...'dr smith ...line 2...Dr Smith line 2....I kept expecting to hear Smith's voice saying OH THE PAIN...OH THE PAIN 😂🤣😅
I met Jonathan Harris at a sci-fi convention about 20 years ago. He said something very profound.
He said that whenever he does a stage performance, each time he performs, he always does it with enthusiasm. Because, no matter how many times he has done it, there's always someone in the audience who is seeing it for the first time.
Are you sure it wasn't instead "Because, you never know? Some mentally deficient gullible as hell person in the audience might actually be impressed ....it COULD happen...you just never know...."
Paraphrased Joe DiMaggio there. When asked towards the end of his career when he was playing hurt why he played every game so hard, "Someone might be there that never saw me play before."

Stan Lee used to tell his artists that every issue was somebody's first comic book.
RIGHT ON!
I met his wife Gertrude in 74-75, I was still in my teens and working in a supply house that served barbers and beauty shops as they were known then, and she was a executive for a hair products company and met her at one of our shows in Lake Tahoe. I remember at a dinner someone asked her if actors were still paid royalties , as lost in space was over and she said you better believe it. I remember what a nice person she was, at that time she had not been to Lake Tahoe before , where our show was and she commented that it was a much younger crowd than Las Vegas in those days. I heard they lived in Encino , outside of LA in the Valley
Jonathan Harris is great, and I love him, as someone who watched Lost in Space as a child, but watching this documentary one has to also give some serious credit to Billy Mumy, for being, in a word, a true gentleman, a very generous spirit.
Jonathan introduced me to Bill and he was also very friendly and cordial.
Bill Mumy’s impression of Harris is the best part of the show.
Billy Mumy loved Jonathan Harris.
"You pusillanimous pipsqueak!"
I was so sad to hear of his passing. I also had a wonderful long conversation with Bob May who played "Robot".
He and I sat and laughed for probably 2 hrs at a weird little science fiction convention in San Jose in the mid 2000's.
He was a former vaudevillian and the man was hilarious. We had such a fun time together. I feel blessed that he was so open and sharing about this character that he obviously loved so much.
Miss you Bob. Thank you for your time.
He was a fine man ... and a great artist ... you will be missed Mr. Harris ... R.I.P
In the mid-'70s my family lived across the street from Jonathan Harris. I never met him, but my sister brought him a bouquet of flowers. He was deeply moved. That's how I'll always think of him - a teddy bear with a brilliantly acerbic character role.
What a wonderful Bio on his life and career. Such a sweet man.
DON HATED THE DUDE !
That "Waaaaugh!" scream of terror, in itself, was classic TV....
"OH, DEAR!" "OH, DEAR"!" What an phenomenal person he was. RIP Master of the Mischievous .
I miss him. He was an enigma in that he never really got old. Sure... he grew older, naturally, but he never got old. I remember thinking that he just seemed like one of those people who could never die. It was devastating when he finally did but boy did he live it out well with a body of memories for all of us to share and experience together with him even while he's not here in body anymore.
He seemed old on Lost In Space.
Loved him on the show when I was a kid. Seems like the kind of person you want to know in real life too. What a gentleman.
Jonathan Harris did a great job as Dr. Zachary Smith. I have watched all three seasons over and over again and still love it . Rest in peace Jonathan Harris.
RIP Jonathan, thank you for all the wonderful memories watching Dr. Smith during my childhood.
The Legend!! And a big part of my young life! Rest peacefully Sir you earned it!
HE IS PROBABLY NOT FOR ALL THE BAD STUFF HE DID ON THE JUPITER -2 .
I had the honor of meeting Jonathan Harris during his 1993 Australian tour. A true gentleman & wonderful actor.
This man, along with the Robot, Captain Kangaroo, Dark Shadows and Sesame Street absolutely MADE my childhood. God Bless him.
I was a kid when Lost in Space came out and it was so real to me. Through the years I've never gotten tired of the reruns, then the series came out on DVD, and I'm again watching it now. Johnathan Harris is definitely the scene stealer, so I'm glad you posted this A&E special, thanks.
He was such a scene stealer that Guy Williams and Mark Goddard were getting annoyed as they weren't at the center of attention it was all Jonathon Harris. Harris was also the longest Guest star of any tv show.
Glad you liked it. Jonathan was a very special guy!
Such a memorable and brilliant actor, he never had the main leading roles on massive movie series but he is probably more well known and loved just as much or more to his adoring fans
I grew up watching LIS and Dr. Smith - I’m also in my mid to late 50’s. Some his lines stuck with me through the years to this day. I had the honor to meet Jonathan in the mid 80’s and I could hardly speak I was in such awe of him. I met him once or twice more at cons, along with the rest of the surviving cast. They’re all great and friendly people and continue to see and be with eachother throughout the year.
What a great thing to stumble upon, RIP Dr. Smith!
Born in 1956. I loved Lost in Space. So nice to know he was a great guy in real life.
I HOPE HE WASN'T REALLY THAT WAY ON SHOW .
I remember the TV show from my childhood. I got to meet Jonathan Harris at a cable television trade show in Anaheim around 1996. I had my picture taken with him and he signed it for me. Great man!
I grew up watching Lost in Space and I remember all the characters it was a wonderful wonderful time they were great cast and it was a great show many of them moved on to other careers but I will never forget that show.
I so enjoyed this viceo, I'm almost 82 and remember all those actors and the shows they were in. I have watched them since they were
on TV in black and white and follow them over and over and still watch them to this day. Got Bless all these wonderful people who brought
all of us kids and adults so much entertainment.
When I was 8 or 9 years old, this was aired on channel 43 in Cleveland, Ohio around 1969. It was aired in the early afternoon and I would run home from school in order to watch 'Lost in Space', as it was syndicated by then. It was my favorite show of all time. RIP Jonathan.
Defenetly this was a complete honor for me. Great memories of my childhood and I hope he still traveling in space and never lost in it. RIP Dr. Smith.
As a young lady growing up in central FLA. I was mesmerized by Lost in Space, and was thrilled when the opening theme music came through the tv speaker every week !
This guy was a 60 's T V legend to kids like me !! I'm 59 but I still watch this stuff.
robert harding Me too and I’m even a few years older than you! In fact at this very moment I’m watching the entire original series through Roku...My favorite show as a kid! ✨🚀🧖🏼♀️🤖🧖🏼♂️🛸👨🏼🚀💫👩🚀👽
Me too, at records every week right now!
I'm 56 and I feel the same way. Loved him!
@@kevinor6776 - Another 56 yr old here. I loved coming home from school and watching LIS. He lived in a time when people still respected the English language and spoke correctly.
I discovered the reboot by Netflix and watched the first season. It was far more serious than the original. I've yet to see a season 2 and still haven't decided if I'd even watch. From what I understand, it's due out this summer (2019). I can say for certain that I don't like the female version of Dr Smith at all. While the original Dr Smith had some redeeming qualities, this new Smith is just pure evil, a sociopath bent on destroying everything in her path. Of course, early on JH played Dr Smith pretty straight and evil, so maybe they have plans for this Smith to evolve in a similar fashion. However, I don't expect the same dynamic character that JH brought to the role. Somehow I just don't see Parker Posey as having the ability to pull that off.
It was a wonderful time back when we were just kids. No pressures, no bills to pay, no families to take care of, just having fun and getting lost in space. By the way, I had a big crush on both Penny and Judy.
The pain, the pain!
Jonathan Harris was everywhere when I was a kid. Loved Lost In Space!
"extraordinary" if you were alive today that's what you would say about his life thank you Jonathan Harris for the joy you brought us.
RIP. 😇
I DO MISS JONATHON HARRIS! FOR ALL HE ACHIEVED,GOD BLESS YOU SIR AND THANKS FOR ALL THE MEMORIES!
He had gorgeous parents. Gives you an idea where his good looks came from.
GREAT SHOW!!! ONE OF MY FAVORITE ACTORS AND CHARACTER!!! LOST IN SPACE NOT THE SAME WITHOUT HIM!!!
as a Teen I loved him as Dr. Smith but never knew of the absolute popularity of this Iconic show for Decades after it's ending. as well I had no idea it was due to his Character that this show was so popular and learned decades later that those 3 would make this series what it was ,sadly overshadowing those other cast members
I was fortunate enough to grow up on Lost In Space, Batman and many other great TV shows. Dr. Zachary Smith was always the guy we made fun of as kids and now he's the one we admire the most. Well done Biography.
Great actor. I also love that Bill Mumy grew up to play one of my favorite Babylon 5 characters, Lennier.
besides lost in space he was such a great actor and a real nice man i had the pleasure of meeting him R.I.P Mr Harris you will be missed and loved
i worked one summer at a theater as an apprentice, building and painting props and the stage. Mr . Harris played the role of the Devil in "Damned Yankees" and was a big hit. He was the only actor all summer who came back to our workshop to talk to us about theater and acting and we were all very honored.
No
jim fortaleza; You have confused Jonathon Harris with Ray Walston. It was the "My Favorite Martian" and 'Mr. Hand" guy that played the Devil in "damn yankees!" Walston should also have a Biography as another great old time actor!
jim fortaleza
''what are you people, on dope?'' Much love to Mr. Hand.
Ray Whittington yes, Ray Walston was in the •film• production of “Damned Yankees”, but Jim was talking about a summer •stage• production. A stage production that he himself had been doing some of the scene shop work for.
While I can neither confirm or deny Jim’s claim, I can tell that he is not making the claim you that you seem to think he is.
What a great actor and human being! He is sorely missed! Rest in peace, Jonathan!
The great Jonathan Harris,one-third of my childhood triumvarite of beloved Jonathans (along with Winters and Frid).Rest in peace and may you all continue to charm and entertain forever............
I grew up watching Dr. Smith.
RIP Sir.
I loved Lost In Space and couldn't wait every week for a new episode. Jonathan Harris was so great at his voice work that he made the shows he worked that much better. May he rest in peace!
What a lovely tribute.
I've always loved his work. I still miss him.
Dr. Smith drove me crazy as a kid!!! I would get so mad at him. His acting drew me in, profoundly.
Jonathan Harris, a treasure who will live forever. I'm a child of the 60's, you, and Lost in Space were my favorite. Thank you and God bless you.
So did we, in all Latin America, the mexican actor doubling his voice in Spanish matched absolutely: we always commented the episode at school the day after. RIP Mr Harris.
Jonathan was absolutely fantastic. Lost in Space would never have been the same without him. Never fear Smith is here 👍
I guess that's why the original pilot didn't sell. No robot, no Dr Smith. The network that wanted it said it needed something else.
He WAS the show.
@@dr.migalitoloveless1651 Yes! The robot too. Also, I loved the family and that interchange. It showed a close family as an under current, but it was there.
Truer words were never written!
I used to imitate the character Dr. Smith
He made my life richer.
HE WAS A BIG PAIN IN THE ASS TO THE ROBINSONS'
He had some "inner talent" that nobody or maybe some producers could not recognize.
Thank you so much for posting this!!! I grew up with "Lost in Space" and even now watching re-runs of the show (I'm 53) I still laugh aloud at the comedy of Dr.Smith (Mr. Harris). I too think he was a comic genius, without whom the show would not have fared so well.
Lost in Space seemed so cheaply made but I got up every Saturday and waited for the TV to come on and put this show First in its lineup. It was a highlight of my week. Dr Smith was amazing.
I’m so happy for 😆 Jonathan..he lived out his dreams & was beloved by the world 👏🏽
I met you as a Kid...Thank you...For all the Joy you brought to my family...Much love to You Sir....Jeff
Johnathan makes me smile, and then chuckle.
Thanks for the upload. Every Wednesday I would rush home from school, do my chores, do my homework, eat supper and my parents would flip the TV to CBS at 7:30 and watch LIS with us. Couldn't wait to see what Jonathan would come up with next. Although I identified more with Will Robinson (we were nearly the same age), Jonathan's interpretation of Dr. Smith is what really fascinated me and kept me coming back week after week. RIP Jonathan Harris. Your talents are greatly appreciated and will be sorely missed.
Actors like this man are no.longer in.existence. He was very very proud man. You could tell he took the craft of acting seriously. It's amazing to think how he turned himself into a well refined well spoken person. Considering he s from this Bronx NY and had that NY drawl that could have very much worked against him during those times. That was truly a massive undertaking and to.achueve such great success at doing it to boot. Overall a very classy guy, a dying breed. Thank you for posting this. A very good look into the career of a genuinely passionate thespian..
I was very young watching LOST IN SPACE in the first prime time run. I would play Dr. Smith in grade school and get a fatboy to play the robot. I always knew I was a Dr. Smith-type. As they say in this program, as the scene-stealer in the series... he was the quintessential character actor. For a kid it was wonderful fun. Thanks for sharing, I thought I was the only fan.
I loved listening to his humble beginnings and his stellar list of Broadway credits.
Thank you for sharing that, William Alexander. I grew up watching "Lost In Space" and Dr. Smith really did make the show!
Class! Hollywood can only dream of having men like this nowadays!! RIP Dr. Smith!
I am very happy to say that I had the chance to MEET Mr. Johnathan Harris at a science-fiction convention circa 1986 if I were to guess (give or take five years?) In any event, although a bit older than his LIS days, when I asked to have a picture taken with him etc. he very much was of that same (Yet a little bit friendlier than Smith :-) personality and I think he did have that accent (which I thought was real!).
I had just such a feeling of love for the man and his characters when I met him that day. Truly one of my favorite legendary meetings of which I've had several @ science fiction conventions over the years :-)
He was one of the reasons the mid 60's was such a memorable time for me!!
Thank you for posting this, @WilliamAlexander. My late father, film and tv director Sidney Lumet, remembered Jonathan from "A Flag Is Born", as well as from the early days of TV- Kraft Playhouse 90, You are There, etc. . My Dad was a fan of his talent as a dramatic actor, his comedic gifts, and his creativity and tireless work ethic. Plus the Bergson Group had much to be proud of. A Flag Is Born integrated the Baltimore in which it ran in the days of Jim Crow -- the cast felt strongly that a ZIoinist production would not play in a segregated theater. And back in the latre 40s, early 50s, they made a stand and succeeded. It;s a wonderful story, and I'm sure the Harrises were very proud. As his daughter, and as a fan born in the Baby Boomer years, I want you to know how much your beloved friend meant to generations of television watchers -- not just for the political stanf "FLAG" took but for pure enjoyment of his work.. He is simply adored and irreplaceable. LIS , of course, was one of the most wonderful, imaginiative, and goodhearted shows aired. Along with Jack Benny, and I Lovew Lucy, it is one of the 3 shows which my friends and I revere to this day. However, there was one Twilight Zone appearance, where Jonathan played the Doctor -- "Room 28"? I think the title was? I can;t write about it any more, it was too scary. You know which one I mean... Jonathan actually stole that episode -- in fact, he stole every scene in which he was cast, be it TZ, LIS, or his numerous roles. Thank God for his long life and the magic of televison which keeps Jonathan alive forever in our hearts. Thank you, Jonathan Harris -- your fans love you and you bring generations to Shakespeare and to the outer reaches of the galaxy. A beautiful generous man, like Jack Benny-- the opposite of his flawed, but beloved tv persona.
I thought that Twilight Zone episode (“Twenty Two”), was scary as hell too!!! Gave me nightmares. It was shot at television city on video cameras (when they tried to save some money one season), and it gave it a soap opera quality as well as a ‘live’ stage feel. Super eerie and super effective. Harris was incredibly dark and ominous in it. It remains one of my favorites of the series.
Sorry to be so late responding. Life got in the way a bit. Thanks go to Gertrude Harris, Jonathan's wife, who let me know about this video after he passed. I am so happy that YT allowed me to share it with all of you.
Just out of happenstance I saw this on UA-cam and it has to have been the fastest 44:10 ever. To say that I was one of the millions of fans during the run of the 'Lost in Space' series wouldn't be remarkable, but , to me the memories are a treasure. I know my parents were fans if only because their youngest son could sit still for at least one hour a week! For years since, whenever I hear his voice it would always bring a smile as I recalled those simpler, happy days of a little boy in the 1960s. Thank you, Jonathan, for being the voiceover of my childhood!
I'm glad I watched this. I had no idea, as a child in the 70s, that Dr Smith was popular. I didn't watch this show often, but I really enjoyed this character.i never knew anything Jonathan Harris did prior to the show. This was fun to watch.
We grew up with Dr Smith in our Living Rooms. What a joy he was to watch, He was quite unique with his Delicate back. And other ailments. He will be missed by Millions of his fans around the world. R.I.P. Jonathan Harris.
Brought back many good memories. He was born for the stage.
It was a great time being a kid in the 60s, they had so many great shows for kids, my favorite shows were gilligan"s Island,the munsters,space ghost,and johnny Quest' But my number one show that i loved with all my heart was LOST IN SPACE! it was on wednesday nights at 730,and would leave you hanging with a cliff hanger scene until next week! and i could hardly wait until next week!but sometimes the announcer would say sorry folks lost in space will be seen in two weeks,and i would be devastated.i still enjoy watching it today,i have every episode on dvd
oh yeah, we loved johnny quest great cartoon
Richard Joubert I agree with you wholeheartedly. I loved Space Ghost and Johnny Quest then and now. Was there anything better than Saturday morning cartoons, I ask you? I really miss that.
@@faithcastillo9597 Indeed . Cartoons used to be a treat!
You mentioned about waiting a week to see the next episode. That's what made TV great in a lot of ways then. The anticipation of the next show! And we'd talk about the shows at school and just couldn't wait to see next week's show. Now we have hundreds of channels and the internet, and somehow it just isn't as good.....figure that out.!
Joubert - I remember my family watching it with on Wed. night. Just the last few episodes is all I remember. It was probably on later where I live. No prime time show started before 8 in Pacific time. I remember ads that said 8:00, 7:00 Central. But an hour show starting in the middle of the hour? Never heard of such a thing
I could not fathom what Lost In Space would've been without Jonathans input as the nefarious Dr. Zachary Smith. I love Lost In Space and lets give credit where it deserves. Jonathans portrayal as Dr. Smith the rest of the cast the magnificent music score by Johnny Williams better known today with so many movie and TV scores Lost in Space being the most memorable. The show had tremendous heart that I caught very quickly. The robot played by Bob May and Dick Tufelds dubbed voice over Bobs, was great to say the least. I watch it still today and it holds quite well. u cannot kill a show with heart it will live on forever. 50 years later says that. Herman Stein was superb with the emotional instrumental slow family score. Amazing how many lives for being a Tv show touched. I'm proud to be a huge fan of the show. To Jonathan Harris 10 out of 10 for being the best he could've delivered on Lost In Space. oh the pain the pain. lol God bless you all from the show cast past and present and the die hard fans. Now that my friend computes.
I totally loved his character who would have guessed how much he brought to that character
RIP Jonathan... He was THE BEST.
:-)
A true Gentleman, a solid husband, a genuinely nice man,,, & a great actor.. THANK you :)
xxx From a 1960 born Australian who LOVED Lost In Space from the day it was televised :)
SSK9s I always thought that he was a homosexual. He camped it up so naturally.
@@heli-crewhgs5285 yup
@@heli-crewhgs5285 me too such a great actor! I remember hearing in the 1970s as a kid some rumor he'd died early on, just assumed it was true all these years then one day outa curiosity around 2015 I utubed him and happily surprised, discovered he'd lived all these years! that robot usta scare me as a 4 or 5 yr old.. still love the show! RIP Mr Harris
Thankyou very much for posting William. I met Jonathan when he toured Australia in 1994.
The master of being the Lovable Villain. He stole the show. His Shakesperean style of insults fascinated me.
Started watching Lost in Space in England in the late 80's as an 18 yr old. Loved Dr.Smith ever since,my favourite lovable villian,Rest in Peace Sir.
This show was a very happy part of my childhood.
Thank you for sharing. I never missed an episode. If it wasn't for Dr. Smith, I wouldn't have continued watching. Harris made the show.
He seemed like such a lovely man. I loved Lost in Space growing up.
I am 57 years old, I watched the Lost in space TV show. Dr. Smith was a like crazy doctor. Jonathan Harris was the best actor and made me happy when I was a little boy.
He never seems to have a negative thing to say about anyone. What a wonderful man.
Not true! He despised John Carridine, and he'd be quite vocal about his distaste for him.
@@deanbianco4982 Then I stand corrected.
Doctor Zachary Smith may have been a coward,
But Johnathan Harris was a comical genius!
Doctor Zachary Smith may have been a coward, but Jonathan Harris was braver than most, pushing the limits and winning in the end as a veteran actor well into his 80s.
Well said!!
Agreed! He made the show.
Krick Shorts I disagree, he killed the show.
How could a character like that function?
He'd see something that frightened him and scream and hide behind Will. Then if the thing in question became something he might profit from, he'd shift from fear to greed and be very reckless about he and Will's safety
my all time sly eyed conniving hero😄
The Lost In Space robot "B9" or replica thereof, is on permanent display at the Powerhouse Museum in the Sydney suburb of Ultimo on the lower ground floor.
I loved watching Lost In Space. Jonathan Harris will be missed and remembered. He showed that if you put your mind on a set of goals you can reach them.
Much respect for this man!!!!!
Every now and then someone comes along that is different from what went before, someone with unique talent that is recognised beyond the norm. Harris was in that category. One of a kind that you just can not put money on.Great memories watching this guy.A great soul of a man with a big heart.
Thank you for posting this, took me back to my childhood. What a remarkable talent. RIP, Mr. Harris and thanks for your legacy.
Lost In Space is a classic. I remember Mr. Harris and Mr Foxx exchanging sharp comments on Sanford and Son, to this day I laugh at the scene both men were out of control.
How lovely that you knew him. Thanks for posting it.
Lost In Space was part of my earliest memories. Thanks for uploading this. Dr Smith was my favourite character after the robot.
He was a brilliant actor, who just love to be... an actor !
Thanks Dr Smith !
an actor
Thanks for sharing. Lost in Space was aired here in Argentina in the 60s when I was a child, my grandfather watched it and loved it. Then my sister and I watched the series in 1976 and we loved dr.Smith. We laughed a lot.
I was always amazed at his vocabulary on Lost in Space. He played such an evil, selfish guy.
Thanks for sharing. This biography gives me a new appreciation for Mr. Harris. Harry Smith does a wonderful job of presenting his life's story. I grew up watching "Lost in Space," which debuted when I was only 8 years old, and almost never missed an episode. Jonathan Harris was so perfect for the part of Dr. Smith.
There were two shows during my childhood that made you believe that they were as real as life itself, where fantasy was reality, or perhaps, reality was fantasy, and they were “Lost In Space” and “Gilligans Island”
The golden age of television will live in my heart forever! ❤️
I think television was the best route, afterall you reach a wider audience old and young alike.....The wonderful Jonathan Harris was part of my childhood and seeing him on social media now will always evoke happy memories and that is what makes life good and meaningful.....
Hi good old days ln the 60s
