Jonathan harris gay
William Winckler has been posting some superb 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 read and I’m honored to carry out so. Right now, these stories are in raw shape, as William posted them, but will eventually be organized into some sort of logical arrange. There is off-color material in these stories, so if that offends you, please don’t examine. I hope you enjoy these awesome glimpses into the wit and wisdom of Jonathan Harris. Thank you, William, for sharing them and allowing me to archive them for all his fans.

Time for another very quick story . . .
I recall being with Jonathan for one of his Los Angeles convention appearances in the 1990s . . . and suddenly this woman dressed as a bag lady, in baggy clothes, a hood and dark sunglasses, was seen standing in Jonathan’s autograph line. She didn’t converse, but looked totally weird. Something was “off.” Jonathan looked at me, as if to state “what the Hell is that?!” raising his eyebro
This weekend brings the annual Same-sex attracted Pride 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 noticeable 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.
- 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 classified. 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 creator Catherine Martin since 1997. They have two kids.
- LeVar Burton. Considering his soft-spoken personality, his drama geek background, his childhood desire 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 lgbtq+. But Bu
Jonathan Harris [1914-2002]: Dr. Zachary Smith
I have completely immersed myself within the world of Lost In Space. Like anything else, I take on the task with clear abandon [or until I fetch bored and grant up for a brief 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, great 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 shut. Starlog, like a number of publications stumbled in sales at the rotate of the century and hung on as long as they could before closing their doors. Given it's prestigious history and wide-ranging library of publications, it makes it all the more disappointing when considering it is gone. It was a genuine loss to folks like myself. In fact, getting back issues is not exactly straightforward today since its folding. Not only did they"Dr. Smith... In a land called Oz"
By Ian Stahlhut:
It's been 12 years but I still think of the time 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 declare when I learned that Jonathan Harris was actually comming to Sydney to appear live on stage. You see, like all the fans of the hit show Lost in Space, I had grown up watching it. In Australia the series has the dubious record of being the most repeated show 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 motion picture buff, I rediscovered the shows and homed in to what an unusual performance Jonathan Harris gave to his character. It was truly a one in a million. So sometime in 1992 I found an art cinema screening episodes of Missing in Space and Celebrity Trek on the giant screen for a scant weekekends. I attended and met and be friended a remarkable man named Glenn Ware, who I discovered had just founded Austral
