Don Adams : RIP
Don Adams passed away during the week, which saw two of my favourite icons from the 60's passing away. I guess it is a reminder we're all getting old. I absolutley loved Get Smart. That style of humour has stuck with me all my life. It's one of my pillars. The Chief, 99, Fang Hymie, Larabee, Agent 13, The Admiral, Seigfreid, Shtarker - all great characters. CONTROL and KAOS formed the two powers. The Shoe Phone. The Cone of Silence. The wacky bad guys. The entrance via the multitude of doors. The gadgets. The catchphrases. The passphrases Ahh, Happy Memories. The SMH has a nice piece on memories of Max. I found a terrific tribute site, which is one of Max's catch phrases - Would You Believe. It has A Complete Episode Guide, Frequently Asked & Answered Questions. Cast and Character Biographies, Show History, Home Addresses of the Cast, Photos from the Get Smart Gathering - a cast & crew reunion! And much, much, more!! Some things I didn't know about the late Don Adams: He was an inveterate horse-player. His leisure time was largely spent either at racetracks or in card games at the Playboy Mansion, and with pals such as 'Hugh Hefner' , James Caan, and Don Rickles. Divorced for the third time, he lived alone in a luxury apartment in Century City. He was a devoted history buff, and was an amateur expert on the lives of Abraham Lincoln and Adolf Hitler. He was a talented poet and painter. So, from the collection of catchphrases:
