BOB DENVER (1935-2005) is so linked to his Gilligan persona that is what he will always be remembered for. Many thought he would have a tough time breaking free of his Maynard G. Krebs character in the Many Loves of Dobie Gillis. Before Gilligan Denver played Dud Wash the husband of Charlene Darling. Denver was actually the second Dud Wash since Hoke Howell had portrayed him in two episodes the previous year. Most of the autograph related material for Denver is focused on Gilligan and Maynard G. Krebs. This is an original drawing by caricature artist Marshall Jay Kaplan that was signed by Bob Denver.

JULIA ADAMS (1926-2019) appeared in an episode of The Andy Griffith Show called "The County Nurse." It was one of the six "Rafe Hollister" episodes. She is perhaps best known for a role she never thought twice about until years later that of the star of the classic horror movie Creature From the Black Lagoon. Later she played Eve Simpson the real estate agent friend of Jessica Fletcher on Murder She Wrote. This is a photograph from TAGS that I got in-person I had her inscribe to my mother who was a huge Murder She Wrote fan.

JACK ALBERTSON (1907-1981) is perhaps best known as Grandpa Joe in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971), The Poseidon Adventure (1972), and on television in Chico and the Man. Albertson had a long and distinguished career not only did he win a Tony for the Broadway play The Subject of Roses but won Best Supporting Oscar for the movie version. He is one of the rare actors to win the triple crown of an Oscar, a Tony, and an Emmy. Albertson played "Bradford J. Taylor" plays Aunt Bee's "rich" world-traveling cousin in a 1967 episode of The Andy Griffith Show. Albertson is one of the few relatives of the Taylors to visit Mayberry. His real-life sister Mabel Albertson played Howard Sprague's mother on the show. This an index card from jgautographs.

Really nice Scott. Albertson was also on the Jackie Gleason Show in 1954/55!

FRANK ALBERTSON (1909-1964) best known as Tom Cassidy in Psycho (1960) the slightly tipsy Texas millionaire with $40,000 in cash. Albertson was a veteran character actor who had largely supporting roles in movies and television. Another big movie for Albertson was as the wisecracking Sam Wainwright in It's a Wonderful Life (1947) with Jimmy Stewart. He appeared as Colonel Watson in The Andy Griffith Show episode that was also the pilot for "Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C." The episode aired just under three months after Albertson died. Although he looked older Albertson was only 55 when he died of a heart attack in his sleep. He was not related to Jack or Mabel Albertson. This is a signed album page.
