LIS News- March 2000
By: Ray Dutczak
Product News: LIS Forever will be available on DVD April 4. This is a great
LIS special directed and produced by my good friend, Kevin Burns. If you
remember, this special aired in 1998, on the Fox network. It was not heavily
advertised.
Jonathan Harris and Bill Mumy go back into character at the end of this
special. Jonathan told me it was very touching reliving Dr. Smith after 35
years.
I took my family to LA in February. On our trip we had lunch with Jonathan,
and Marta Kristen
was kind enough to have my family over for dinner as well. My
thanks go out to the both of them for their hospitality.
Jonathan is doing great, and he sends his best to all of his friends around
the world. Check my interview section as that Jonathan just completed an
interview exclusively for LIS Memories.
Marta just filmed an Advil commercial that is being aired now. This
advertisement shows Marta gardening. It is nice to see Marta on the TV
screen again.
Bill Mumy and Angela Cartwright are filming a movie together titled
Overload. The movie is a psychological drama in a sci-fi setting. It's nice
to see the two of them working together, and I feel that this movie is sure
to be a winner.
Bill and Angela will be signing at the Chiller Theatre convention April 14-16. This
will be Bill's first "Chiller" experience, and Angela' s second. I urge all
of you to attend.
My friend, Kevin Clement, puts on one hell of a show. He is always receptive
to the LIS cast. You can check out the Chiller Theatre web site for more details. In addition, Bill Mumy has his fan
club up and running again. Glenda Kountz, his fan club president, heads it.
You can get more information for his fan club by looking at my site's for
sale section.
Mark Goddard is doing fine teaching, and appearing at many conventions around
the country. Mark also has a new fan club that is up and running, headed by
the fan club president and my good friend Tammy Wall. This is the one and
only Mark Goddard fan club sanctioned by Mark. You can join his fan club by
referring to my site's for sale section. I highly recommend that you join
this fan club.
June Lockhart, who I dubbed the convention king, is always busy. She has been
visiting Nassau, and helping them with various projects, I have a great book
in my site's for sale section titled "LIS Forever", in which June wrote the
forward. You can buy this great autographed collectible directly from June,
so don't miss out.
Bob May will be making his return to Fright Vision Convention in Akron, Ohio
from Mar 31 - Apr 2. Carl Thompson puts on this convention, and it is a good.
I had a blast doing this convention last year with Mark and Bob. I helped Bob
judge the best fan built Robot contest, and it was a lot of fun. There will
be about 10 fan built robots on hand this year, so be sure to take a look. Be
sure to stop by and see Bob, for he has many stories to tell and he's a lot
of fun to be around. If there is anything that you wanted to know about the
robot, Bob can answer your questions.
My good friend Tammy Wall has a great email list on the net called LIS
Forever. Here we are committed to talking about everything dealing with LIS.
It is a lot of fun, and it's the best on the net. If you need a LIS fix, go
to my Links page, and you will see it at the top of the page. I highly
recommend that you subscribe to it.
Please check the convention listings as to where the cast will be appearing.
Most appearances will be at a location near you. So, if you want to meet the
cast now is your chance.
