Wonderful man, Decent human being. I knew Bob personally. I was in two of his tv series, High Mountain Rangers AnD High Sierra Search & Rescue. I was not an actress, but a stunt double. He taught me Everything I knew about my profession and was Very honored when he told me that I was the Best Stunt Double he had Ever worked with. I miss him dearly, not Only as my mentor and trainer, but as my friend. I still, on occasion, talk to his wife, LaVelda, who is Also a dear friend. I miss our days living in the Beautiful mountains of Northern California. What a Special time it was.....Thank you Bob💗 Lisa 😊

First day when we arrived to Los Angeles 1986 , I was driving on Wilshire Blvd in Beverly hills I saw a guy his head out of car window and his arm was resting on the door. He stared at me and my brother we got nervous he looked very tense. I told my brother I don't want to mess with this guy. That was Robert Conrad. He was driving a Ford mustang.

I loved Black Sheep Squadron, and I thought he was devastatingly handsome, especially at the age he was in the mid 70s. Even my dad said he thought Robert was among some of the most handsome men ever like Cary Grant, Elvis, Engelbert, Roger Moore, Chad Everett, etc. But Robert was short, and he was massively insecure because of that, and he could be extremely confrontational and difficult.

Certainly! Here's a summary of the information regarding Robert Conrad and his flying endeavors: Robert Conrad, the actor known for his roles in television shows like "The Wild Wild West" and "Baa Baa Black Sheep" (also known as "Black Sheep Squadron"), was indeed a licensed pilot. He obtained his pilot's license in the 1950s and had a genuine passion for aviation. While the specific details about the planes he flew are not readily available, Conrad had experience with both single-engine and multi-engine aircraft. As an avid aviator, it is likely that he flew various models, including general aviation planes and potentially some vintage or historical aircraft. Conrad's interest in flying extended beyond his on-screen performances, and he enjoyed piloting planes in his personal life as well. He was known for performing his own stunts and engaging in action sequences throughout his acting career. Unfortunately, without more specific information, it is challenging to provide a comprehensive list of the planes he flew. However, it is clear that Conrad's love for flying was a significant part of his life alongside his successful acting career.

I preferred Ross Martin in "Wild Wild West." I never thought much of Conrad until I saw "Wrong is Right" with Sean Connery. He as a straight comedic character, General Wombat. I would never have thought he could be funny until I saw that film. He was macho and competitive in "Wild World of Sports."

When I was 13 Robert Conrad tried to pick me up at the Ballet. It was intermission and I was ordering a ginger ale at the theater concession bar, my parents had stayed in their seats. I was a ballet dancer and looked older than 13, maybe 17. Conrad was standing next to me having a drink. He must have been in his 30's. Gorgeous. I had a huge crush on him from Wild Wild West. He started chatting me up. Asked for my phone number. I had no idea what to do and scurried back to my parents and told them! My Dad wanted to go beat him up but my Mother urged him to drop it.

No he Wasn't! I knew him personally and he Married LaVelda Fann, who At the time was 18-19. He was in his 30s. He preferred Women, Not girls. He was a Very decent human being and took his marriages Seriously. Never EveR fooling around. I was a Stunt Double in his shows, High Mountain Rangers, AnD, High Sierra Search & Rescue. We were also neighbors And good friends. I taught his children how to ski and played softball on his team in Bear Valley California. I miss him dearly and I will probably never have a friend as loyal as he was.

Wild Wild West offered imaginative escapist fun, with a load of gratuitous violence. I was eight when it originally aired on Friday nights back when there were only three VHF stations. Ran my Lionel train after the show, while planning my future adventures with Richard Markowitz theme song playing in my head.
