Wonderful man, Decent human being. I knew Bob personally. I was in two of his tv series, High Mountain Rangers AnD High Sierra Search & Rescue. I was not an actress, but a stunt double. He taught me Everything I knew about my profession and was Very honored when he told me that I was the Best Stunt Double he had Ever worked with. I miss him dearly, not Only as my mentor and trainer, but as my friend. I still, on occasion, talk to his wife, LaVelda, who is Also a dear friend. I miss our days living in the Beautiful mountains of Northern California. What a Special time it was.....Thank you Bob💗 Lisa 😊

RC was an icon to many young guys growing up and seeing his various TV shows. This background was interesting and helped bolster my favorable memories of him as a great star.

I loved Robert Conrad since the wild wild west! And to this day I will always love him! I miss him❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢

First day when we arrived to Los Angeles 1986 , I was driving on Wilshire Blvd in Beverly hills I saw a guy his head out of car window and his arm was resting on the door. He stared at me and my brother we got nervous he looked very tense. I told my brother I don't want to mess with this guy. That was Robert Conrad. He was driving a Ford mustang.

I was always captivated by his work in “ Wild ,Wild , West “ .

Wild Wild West, he and Ross Martin were straight up gorgeous ♥️

I really enjoyed this on Robert I remember watching wild wild west as a young girl it was interesting to learn a lot more about this man how well-rounded he was thank you again. Keep them coming I love listening and watching your channel. 😃👍✌️

Grew up Watching MY Favorites shows. The WILD WILD WEST! Combat! Rat Patrol! & many more! It was a GREAT time to be young. TV was Awwwwwsome!! God Bless

He convinced a theater professor at Northwestern to accept him as a special student who only took theater classes even though he hadn’t graduated from high school.

I always loved watching Blacksheep Squadron even more than Wild Wild West and I loved it as well.

Loved him in "Wild Wild West"

I loved Black Sheep Squadron, and I thought he was devastatingly handsome, especially at the age he was in the mid 70s. Even my dad said he thought Robert was among some of the most handsome men ever like Cary Grant, Elvis, Engelbert, Roger Moore, Chad Everett, etc. But Robert was short, and he was massively insecure because of that, and he could be extremely confrontational and difficult.

TWWW was it totally unique show. I enjoyed how they Incorporated musical instruments into the plots of skullduggery.

Certainly! Here's a summary of the information regarding Robert Conrad and his flying endeavors: Robert Conrad, the actor known for his roles in television shows like "The Wild Wild West" and "Baa Baa Black Sheep" (also known as "Black Sheep Squadron"), was indeed a licensed pilot. He obtained his pilot's license in the 1950s and had a genuine passion for aviation. While the specific details about the planes he flew are not readily available, Conrad had experience with both single-engine and multi-engine aircraft. As an avid aviator, it is likely that he flew various models, including general aviation planes and potentially some vintage or historical aircraft. Conrad's interest in flying extended beyond his on-screen performances, and he enjoyed piloting planes in his personal life as well. He was known for performing his own stunts and engaging in action sequences throughout his acting career. Unfortunately, without more specific information, it is challenging to provide a comprehensive list of the planes he flew. However, it is clear that Conrad's love for flying was a significant part of his life alongside his successful acting career.

Great actor.too bad he gone.😢

A Big fan have watched most of his shows and movies. I’ve got an action figure of JTW brown outfit etc . Very cool dude.

Wild Wild West ranked #23 in its first season

I was curious to know have you ever done a story on Burl Ives.

I did. On the set of High Sierra Search & Rescue. I was a Stunt Double in his series. I walked up to him and Dared him. I was always trying to loosen him up, but he was All buisness until we were done shooting. Then he walked up to Me and said, GO AHEAD LISSSSA! DO IT! Yeah no, I'm good, Bob 👍🤣

Hey!....misconception about Conrads eyes being blue, in actuality they were hazel/green...

He was Made in Chicago, IL. (southside)

He was hot

I preferred Ross Martin in "Wild Wild West." I never thought much of Conrad until I saw "Wrong is Right" with Sean Connery. He as a straight comedic character, General Wombat. I would never have thought he could be funny until I saw that film. He was macho and competitive in "Wild World of Sports."

He was the best

Thought he was William Conrad’s little brother because the name and eyes but he was born with a different name😎🚬

Black Sheep and Wild Wild West!!!

Didn't he found the gap?

When I was 13 Robert Conrad tried to pick me up at the Ballet. It was intermission and I was ordering a ginger ale at the theater concession bar, my parents had stayed in their seats. I was a ballet dancer and looked older than 13, maybe 17. Conrad was standing next to me having a drink. He must have been in his 30's. Gorgeous. I had a huge crush on him from Wild Wild West. He started chatting me up. Asked for my phone number. I had no idea what to do and scurried back to my parents and told them! My Dad wanted to go beat him up but my Mother urged him to drop it.

Wild Wild West offered imaginative escapist fun, with a load of gratuitous violence. I was eight when it originally aired on Friday nights back when there were only three VHF stations. Ran my Lionel train after the show, while planning my future adventures with Richard Markowitz theme song playing in my head.
