Jonathan Harris [1914-2002]: Dr. Zachary Smith

I own completely immersed myself within the world of Lost In Space. Like anything else, I take on the task with unmistakable abandon [or until I get bored and grant up for a concise time]. I have been absorbing all things Lost In Space. So, I bring you all things Dr. Zachary Smith and the man who played him, the late, amazing Jonathan Harris [1914-2002].

I stumbled across Starlog #248 [March 1998] from my collection. This got me thinking about how much I miss Starlog Magazine. Starlog was a wonderful science fiction publication and one of the rare breeds that genuinely embraced though science fiction investigations on any subject it touched. I do miss it so. There isn't a magazine on the market today that comes block. Starlog, like a number of publications stumbled in sales at the rotate of the century and hung on as extended as they could before closing their doors. Given it's prestigious history and vast library of publications, it makes it all the more disappointing when considering it is gone. It was a sincere loss to folks favor myself. In fact, getting back issues is not exactly easy today since its folding. Not only did they

This weekend brings the annual Gay Celebration festivities to West Hollywood, which is arguably the gayest city in the country if not the world. As one of relatively few straight men in WeHo, my preference for women may not be obvious as I walk through "Boys Town" on my way to the public pool. Thus I find myself identifying with Dana Carvey's old SNL character Lyle the Effeminate Heterosexual. And so might these nine notable men.

  1. Baz Luhrmann. First, a disclaimer: who knows what any of these guys got up to in their private lives? Certainly, many gay celebrities of the past got married and had children while keeping their same-sex lovers a private. Anyway, you might assume that only a homosexual could make lavish, over-the-top films like Moulin Rouge! and Strictly Ballroom, yet the dapper Australian director has been married to his costume/production designer Catherine Martin since 1997. They have two kids.
  2. LeVar Burton. Considering his soft-spoken personality, his drama geek background, his childhood wish to become a priest, and his involvement in AIDS and gay rights causes, you might be forgiven for thinking the Roots/Star Trek/Reading Rainbow star was gay. But Bu

    William Winckler has been posting some wonderful stories about Jonathan Harris on Facebook. These were told by Jonathan to William during their many lunches together. William has given me permission to archive these stories here in one place for fans to interpret and I’m honored to execute so. Right now, these stories are in raw form, as William posted them, but will eventually be organized into some sort of logical order. There is off-color material in these stories, so if that offends you, please don’t read. I hope you enjoy these delightful glimpses into the wit and wisdom of Jonathan Harris. Praise you, William, for sharing them and allowing me to archive them for all his fans.

    Time for another very quick story . . .

    I recall organism with Jonathan for one of his Los Angeles convention appearances in the 1990s . . . and suddenly this girl dressed as a bag lady, in baggy clothes, a hood and dark sunglasses, was seen standing in Jonathan’s autograph line. She didn’t talk, but looked totally weird. Something was “off.” Jonathan looked at me, as if to say “what the Hell is that?!” raising his eyebro

    "Dr. Smith... In a land called Oz"

    By Ian Stahlhut:

    It's been 12 years but I still remember the period like it was yesterday. As a committee member of Australia's Lost in Space fan club and a budding young actor, I was in an absolute state when I learned that Jonathan Harris was actually comming to Sydney to manifest live on stage. You see, prefer all the fans of the punch show Lost in Space, I had grown up watching it. In Australia the series has the dubious write down of being the most repeated present in television history. We had no toys here in Oz, no model of the Jupiter-2, or ray guns, just our imaginations and lego and lots of bushland to play out our childhood version as the Robinsons after school. I was always Will, and no one wanted to be Dr. Smith. As I got older and became a serious film buff, I rediscovered the shows and homed in to what an extraordinary act Jonathan Harris gave to his nature. It was truly a one in a million. So sometime in 1992 I found an art cinema evaluating episodes of Missing in Space and Star Trek on the big screen for a limited weekekends. I attended and met and be friended a remarkable man named Glenn Ware, who I discovered had just founded Austral
