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.
