“All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.”

RIP Rutger Hauer (1944 - 2019)

 

He would be sorely missed.

 

One of the greats. That's a great quote. RIP.

 

Considering that his character in blade runner technically died in 2019 as well, makes it strange. I’m going to miss him.

 

Goddamn, I'm starting to feel old. I loved that shit when I was kid.

I loved a lot of his songs R.I.P.

 

He would be sorely missed. Never knew until many years later that woman on Shakin was Appolonia.

I'm shocked about Witherspoon. I've been watching interviews with him on YT lately and he seemed in good health.

 

RIP Pops

 

High blood pressure knocking us off quick. If the cause is heart failure ect, you already know.

 

Shocking to learn. (There really wasn't any major press about this). Feel so sad ...maan, he made Boomerang and Friday so memorable! His quotes and delivery live in infamy.

 

I was watching old rap videos today on MTV Classic, & they played 3 songs with him in it in a 4 hour span.

Robert Conrad, the actor best known for his role in the television show The Wild Wild West, has died. He was 84.

“He lived a wonderfully long life and while the family is saddened by his passing, he will live forever in their hearts,” family spokesman Jeff Ballard tells PEOPLE.

Born in Chicago, Illinois on March 1, 1935, Conrad worked as a milkman while pursuing a career as a local nightclub singer before moving to Los Angeles in 1958 and booking his first big recurring role on Hawaiian Eye in 1959.

After Hawaiian Eye, the actor went on to star as Secret Service agent James T. West in The Wild Wild West, which ran from 1965 to 1969. The show followed the characters of West and Artemus Gordon as the country’s first Secret Service agents exploring the west during the Ulysses S. Grant administration.

After the success of The Wild Wild West, Conrad starred in other television shows including The D.A., Assignment: Vienna, Centennial and Baa Baa Black Sheep (which was later syndicated as Black Sheep Squadron.)

The actor also had a career in film as well. Conrad was seen in movies including Wild Wild West spin-off movie More Wild Wild West, as well as Murph the Surf, The Lady in Red and Samurai Cowboy. His last appearance was in the 2002 movie Dead Above Ground.

Conrad was also a singer, and recorded music under the name of Bob Conrad in the 1950s and 60s.

“There are three cycles in showbiz,” Conrad told PEOPLE in 1988, while he filmed his then-new show High Mountain Rangers.
“They don’t know you, then they love you, and then you’ve been around so long they hate you. Now I’m starting all over again.”

A recipient of the Distinguished Service Award in Broadcasting and an inductee of the Stuntman’s Hall of Fame, Conrad was a longtime supporter of amateur boxing, the Wounded Warriors Project, Paralyzed Veterans of America, the United States Marine Corps, and the Jimmie Heuga Endowment, which provides support to those affected with multiple sclerosis.

A small private service is scheduled for March 1, which would have been Conrad’s 85th birthday. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Wounded Warrior Project and The Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation.

Conrad is survived by 18 grandchildren and eight children, whom he shares with ex-wives LaVelda Fann and Joan Kenlay.
