Mini bio of actor Bill Bixby who is most famous for appearing on the tv shows "My Favorite Martian" "The Courtship of Eddie's Father" and "The Incredible Hulk".
That is hard to believe that bill Bixby does not have a star.On the hollywood walk of fame . He truly deserves it.He was truly a star
I loved him as Donovan in "The Apple Dumpling Gang", Tom Corbett in "The Courtship of Eddie's Father" and Dr. David Banner "The Incredible Hulk"
The TV show The Incredible Hulk was one of my favorite shows back in the 70’s.
Best part was at the end when the piano played the theme song, The Lonely Man, by Joe Harnell
@@ksw501 Somehow I remember that Music . I don't think it's because I'm a Musician . It's a very catchy , but odd piece of Music . I hope you're doing well . 🎸
like a dr jekyll and mr hyde, a la 70's style ..super cool!!
Mr Bixby was just great in every role he played. Just a natural !! RIP BILL. 🙏🙏➕➕
On The Courtship of Eddie's Father. Bill played Tom Corbett, who was a widower and a TV dad. Brandon Cruz has a son who he named Bixby in memory of Bill Bixby.
Yes ,Bill Bixby certainly does deserve a star 🌟 on the Hollywood walk of fame.🎭⭐️😱 Thank you .❤
I agree!!
Bill Bixby is missed! Loved watching The Hulk! He was a serious influence on the 70s child growing up. Certainly me.
This video made me feel a little teary. Great that Brandon Cruz is trying hard, to get Bill his Hollywood Walk Of Fame. Bill Bixby was a memorable actor !
Such great memories, I didn’t remember him in Rich Man, Poor Man. I wonder why this mini series is not shown now. Bill definitely deserves a star on the hollywood walk of fame
Always liked Bill. He was the perfect set up man for the Hulk. My favorite show in the early 80's
Thats BS !! he should definitely have a star !!
I'm 59. I watched The Incredible Hulk on tv as a kid. I always loved him! Thank you for your hard work and the wonderful memories!
Glad you enjoyed it!
You're the same age as Bill Bixby was when he died! Time flies! p.s. Read my comment above, about
seeing Bill Bixby in person, when he played "The Incredible Hulk"! p.s. 1970 shows were better, then!
I loved that show as well..one of my favourite episodes is when mariette hartley has a brain cancer or disease, and dr banner is intrigued by her nighttime disease destroying words of attack ,training her body to kill this inner demon..and of course he loved her, and that idea cuz of his secret very angry and distructive powerful inner being!!( p.s oooh the look when those eyes started to light up kinda green ..didn't they?? or was that my false memory?? lol so cool ..excitement!!
I agree Steve, Bill Bixby most certainly deserves a star. He was great, whether it be a sitcom or a movie.
🙏 RIP BILL BIXBY 🙏
You are so right, Bill deserves the Walk of Fame Star. In 2002 before taping a show for FOX, we were admiring the stars of Bob Hope, Lucille Ball, John Wayne...and then Arsenio Hall. WOW. Seriously? My mother had her picture taken with Bill at Lou Ferrigno's first wedding. That only lasted one year. Susan was from our hometown in NJ.
Ray Walston has a star, and Bill Bixby doesn't? How does that make sense?
the best actor and beloved by all people.😢😢
And bill bixby deserves a star, did so much in a relatively short life.
I’m so proud of child actor Brandon Cruz from the TV show The courtship of Eddie’s Father doing his best to Go Fund Me and raise money for a star for Bill Bixby when he should have one anyway for all of his contributions and talents he bestowed in the TV and movie industry.Its a damn shame if you ask me why he doesn’t to this day have one!
In August 1977, my family & I were at Universal Studio, Calif. on a tram tour, when the driver asked
everyone to be quiet, as we passed through an 'active shoot' of a brand new television show! We looked
down to see Bill Bixby, waist deep in a large pool of water & the driver said that the show was to be
called "The Incredible Hulk"! A month later, we saw this scene on t.v. as part of the pilot episode! R.I.P. Bill!
Cool story.
far out!! lucky you, certainly a fun fond memory.
Perfectly cast as Danid Banner.Such a sad life and passing Deserves a Star
Bill Bixby was a great actor and deserves a Star. I loved him as,
David Banner on The Incredible Hulk, My Favorite Martian, guest characters, Blossom, though, my favorite is, The Courtship of Eddie's Father.. Let me tell you about my best friend. Gone too soon and greatly missed.
Bill Bixby was a great actor and definitely needs a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. I'm so proud of what Brandon Cruz has done to honor Bill Bixby and hope he's able to get that star for him. He should also have 1. I've been a big Brandon Cruz fan since Courtship of Eddie's Father premiered in 1969.
Here I go again with, he was SO YOUNG! I enjoyed all the TV 📺 shows he did. That is so very sad about his son and 1st wife. 😢 May they all RIP 🙏
i remember his wife, the actress's face now..but did not know the tragedy about his young son..aww soo tragic and the boys mum kills herself ..soooo sad
He had a really great role in the epic mini-series "Rich Man, Poor Man," but everyone else in that cast was fantastic too!
Yes people give him a starr! He had a great career.
The utter pointlessness of a 'star' on that boulevard
A graveyard/pending graveyard for tourists to take selfies
I love the ashes in the Pacific, that's peace (and reunited with his son)
Loved him in favorite Martian. He was a great actor.
He dud leave us with a lot of wonderful memories and that can never be taken from us. 🙏
A versatile and talented actor.He is much missed.
I enjoyed your commentary about BILL BIXBY.
I grew up watching his shows and I really enjoyed his acting.
He was also a top- notch magician.
He did a lot in 59 yrs.
I was hoping that you had talked about his magic achievements or at least mentioned it.
I would have liked to have heard about where he performed, etc, etc.
You probably didn't have time to say to much about his magic career.
Thanks, God Bless
I remember watching The Courtship of Eddie's Father in syndicated reruns. He played a widower to a young son. He was the quintessential TV dad. His TV son Brandon Cruz was good friends until his passing. When Brandon Cruz had a son who he named Bixby in memory of his TV dad. The Magician TV show. He played a magician named Tony Blake, who used magic to solve crimes and to get out of predicaments. He should have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Yes, Brandon Cruz would name his firstborn son Lincoln Bixby Cruz (born 1995). Sadly not only had Bill outlived his only child but he himself was an only child and his mother Jane McFarland Bixby (1911-2008) outlived her family by many years. However Mr. Cruz made it a point to personally let Mrs. Bixby know that he WAS immortalizing their family via naming his own son that due to how important the late Mr. Bixby had been to him!
Such a good man
thank you for that sad sad tale of a dearly beloved actor ..I thought aww..I remember his wife too with the 6 year old boy i didnt know died..anyways thanks again for such a warm caring presentation!!
Wow I didn’t know any of this that is heartbreaking losing his child then wife only to remarry and pass from health complications
I’ve always wondered why it takes so many years for people to revive a star on the walk of fame Actress Ming-Na Wen just received hers last year and she’s been an actress for since 1988 but didn’t become famous until 1993
She’s now 60 going to be 61 this year
I hope he gets his star it’s a shame they give the best years of their lives to the industry and they can’t even be properly honored
Hi Steve. Loved him in The Incredible Hulk ❤. That music always made me sad, btw😢.
He was one of the handsomest, classiest men ever to walk this Earth. He made TV history. What is wrong with Hollywood?
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED Bill Bixby as Tom Corbett. He was the type of father I would have loved to have. I also LOVED Brandon Cruz as a son. He was a cool guy. I love the fact that they loved each other in real life and would do things together outside of the television schedule. 😊❤
I saw Bill guesting on the Mike Douglas show and I'll never forget it. Bill described a scene in which Bill's character and Brandon's character were having a chat in the bathroom. Brandon was at the sink and Bill stepped out of the shower, and would shave at the mirror. Bill said that to make the scene more natural, he did the scene naked. I was a young teen at the time, and I wondered why would an actor would need to do that, and why would he tell that weird story to Mike and his audience.
Bixby was descended from a Mayflower family. They came from Mass in the 1700s, to California.
Loved him in the Magician, hope they get that star for him.
❤Bill Bixby❤
Thx for the info. We will sure miss him.
Since I’m just a year younger, I know exactly what you’re saying about my favorite Martian. I love that show. I couldn’t watch it enough. I look at it now and it’s so dated in someways, but it was a great show and I watched it with my family thanks for another great video, I hope he gets his star
I enjoyed his (early career) appearance in the Twilight Zone hour-long episode "The Thirty Fathom Grave", which scared me as a child at the time.
For those of you watching for the first time, Steve does these videos in a professional, factual way, unlike many of the videos on here just trying to get views with untruths and fake pictures that aren’t even in the video. No senstionalism to get views.. …
I really appreciate your very informative but also short, to the point, videos 😊.
Thanks for that. And no artificial intelligence or intelligence.
As Yule Brenner said…..just don’t smoke.
Used to watch The Magician..Mark Wilson taught him magic tricks.
Give Bill his star.
Loved him on Andy Griffith.
Bill and his wives should have known Jesus!
Boo-hiss, you and your holy-ass ways.
Hi Steve . Another great Video you've created here . After listening to you share Bill's History , he obviously did have quite a rough life in his earlier years . And then worse after his " Good " years . But I'm lucky because I remember quite well his years playing " Eddie's Father ".
And I was always obsessed with The HULK !! A lot of us kids at School would spend a lot of time talking about Lou and his weight lifting .
Any , I hope you're doing well Steve . And staying safe . I absolutely Love every single one of your Videos . That's probably because of it's obvious how much time and effort that you put in to create each one . See you next week Steve . Hope you're having fun creating the next great Video .

I loved the incredible hulk when I was growing up ❤❤ And no star???
I want to know more about the process of getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Where does that money go to? It doesn’t seem right. Can any affluent actor buy their own star?
❤🙏
I thought his sin died of drug overdoses,im sad that he died so young and sickly!!
How many other actors had 3 hit series built around them? Some others did, but only as spin-offs.
Michael Landon, Lucille Ball. But I get your point.
Depressing 👎🏻no thanks
Very funny and talented guy
