Actor Robert Hogan who appeared in over a hundred fifty different TV shows in his 60 year acting career has died at age 87. Here is a picture of him from the BATMAN TV series episodes INSTANT FREEZE/RATS LIKE CHEESE.

I watched this episode tonight.
George Sanders is my favorite Mr. Freeze.
Like his mountain hideaway with the hot & cold zones.
Also thought it was odd/funny that Robin would leave Robert Hogan tied up.

Was kind of hoping there would be a couple more figures available from the get-go, but I guess there has to be something for Wave 2.

Still… I need a Riddler.

Found this story on facebook.

The girl in the pink shirt is actress Pamelyn Ferdin (very active on TV and film during the 60's and 70's) and this is about when she and the other little girl were dancers in a Jerry Lewis live stage show. She recently posted this.

Backstage at the Greek Theatre, 7/15/68 - The corridor was packed with movie stars congratulating Jerry Lewis on his first live show in LA since 1958. I was too shy to approach anybody, and I knew they weren't there to see me anyway, but two people - Cesar Romero and Phyllis Diller - won my heart forever for approaching me and taking time to talk to a nine-year-old backup dancer. Romero was incredibly suave and charming. He signed my autograph book.

I like hearing that celebs I like are nice people off camera.
