LIS News- May, June 2000
By: Ray Dutczak
If there was anything that you wanted to know about Irwin Allen's works,
it's here in this tribute. Kevin Burns has really outdone himself on this DVD with all the bonus footage from the Fox archives.
The fans loved it. Mark, Marta, and myself would like to thank Dave Scott
for all of his hospitality and for having us at his convention.
The weekend of May 19 I traveled to Detroit, Michigan where Mark Goddard
and Angela Cartwright were appearing at The Motor City Comic Con. I had the
pleasure of sitting with and helping out Angela on this trip. Angela is
always fun to be around and she is always gracious to all her fans.
I met some members from the LIS4ever Internet list, of which I
moderate with my partner and founder Tammy Wall. We all went out to dinner
Saturday Night with some list members, and also Mark Goddard.
During dinner, Mark told us of his many Hollywood and LIS. travels. The
dinner was a blast and all of the LIS list members went away very happy.
Anyone interested in joining our LIS. Forever discussion list go to
www.lis4ever.com for more info. On our list we have some of the most devoted
LIS Fans around.
On Saturday we brought June Lockhart a birthday cake, since it was her
birthday that weekend. She was trilled. All in all, it was a good convention.
Keep checking my convention section, for I would be listing their appearances
as soon as I find it out.
The "Great One", Jonathan Harris just finished some voice-over work for
an animated feature film called Herbert's Brain. Jonathan plays the Brain,
and he had a great time doing the voice. I will list here when the animated
feature will be released, so keep posted.
June Lockhart is back on General Hospital. She plays Felicia's grandmother,
and she has been making a few guest spots from time to time. It's amazing how
long June has been on General Hospital.
Angela Cartwright is busy finishing up on a book that she co-wrote with
Bill Mumy entitled "To What Purpose". Angela and Bill are also working on a
sci-fi thriller called "Overload" that should start filming again this
summer. Make sure to stop by and check out Angela's web site at http://www.angela-cartwright.com
Bill Mumy has been busy doing some voice-over commercial work for Walmart
and Honda to name a few. He also recently finished a CD entitled "Pandora's
Box" which should be out soon. Be sure to check Bill's site at http://www.billmumy.com.
Marta Kristen has been attending conventions around the states, and she
recently performed a short play with Mark Goddard and I mentioned above.
Marta and Mark were both in the play, and to the fans' delight they were
great. For me it was very special to see them give a live performance. Marta
is very busy raising her granddaughter, Lena.
Bob will be coming to October Chiller Convention, held in New Jersey.
This will be Bob's first Chiller experience. Anyone planning on coming to the
October Chiller should make it a point to stop by and see Bob. For more info
about Chiller check out http://www.chillertheatre.com.
So, that's all the LIS News for now. As always, support your cast and keep
the faith. Be safe, well, and most of all happy.
