Who will warn Will Robinson Now?

Mon Jan 19, 2009 — by Glenn Hauman
'Lost in Space' robot actor Bob May dies
You probably never knew his face. You don't remember his voice, you always thought it was Dick Tufeld's. But you knew his most famous role just the same.

Bob May, who donned The Robot's suit in the hit 1960s television show "Lost in Space," has died. He was 69.

May died Sunday of congestive heart failure at a hospital in Lancaster, said his daughter, Deborah May.

He was a veteran actor and stuntman who had appeared in movies, TV shows and on the vaudeville stage when he was tapped by "Lost in Space" creator Irwin Allen to play the Robinson family's loyal metal sidekick in the series that debuted in 1965.

"He always said he got the job because he fit in the robot suit," said June Lockhart, who played family matriarch Maureen Robinson. "It was one of those wonderful Hollywood stories. He just happened to be on the studio lot when someone saw him and sent him to see Irwin Allen about the part. Allen said, 'If you can fit in the suit, you've got the job.'"

While in this day and age you can purchase a replica, it's never quite the same as the original.

Forrest J Ackerman has gone on holiday with Prince Sirki

Nickname Mr. Science Fiction Mr. Sci-Fi Forry FJA Dr. Acula 4SJ 4E The Ackermonster , but to me he will always be Uncle Forry. I met him the day I traded all my comics to a kid for his box of Famous Monsters Of Filmland magazines. They regaled me with stories of Creatures from Black Lagoons and fur pelted Robot Monsters. Suffice to say, he is responsible for the Demented Drive In and I will miss him greatly. He was 92.

An Early Christmas Treat For Our Fans!

Thanks for a great year! Merry Christmas and a Happy Ghoul Year from your pals at the

DEMENTED DRIVE IN THEATER!
