Mark Goodard did hundreds of TV shows, but to me, he'll always be Major Don West from ''Lost in Space,'' the kinda campy sci-fi series of the 1960s (which was set in 1997!).
When I Googled him, I was surprised to learn that he made his Broadway debut opposite Liza Minnelli in ''The Act'' (1977). Anyone remember the show or his role of Charley Price?
I've never seen ''The Act,'' but I knew Minnelli won the Tony for it, apparently for practically singing all its Kander and Ebb songs, including the ebullient ''City Lights.''
In a 1997 video interview, Goddard recalled: ''I loved it. That was one of my greatest experiences: [working] with Liza Minnelli. It was directed by Martin Scorsese.'' |
