Bob May, der Schauspieler im Roboter B-9 aus “Lost in Space” (der genialen Serie, nicht dem dämlichen Film), verstarb gestern im Alter von 69 Jahren. May war starker Raucher, wie June Lockhart (Maureen Robinson) erzählt:

Lockhart said May wore the suit for hours at a time and learned the lines of every actor in the show so he would know when to respond to their cues. Because it wasn’t easy to get in and out of the suit, he kept it on during breaks. “He was a smoker,” Lockhart remembered. “From time to time (when he was on a break), we’d see smoke coming out of the robot. That always amused us.
