Quicksand Fans

James Gordon MacArthur passed yesterday. Many of you know him as Dano from "Hawaii Five O". He was much more then that. Star of stage, screen, and radio as well. My personal favorite was "The Great Adventure" Broadcast back in January of 1964 on the CBS television network.

Rest Well James, and thanks.

Another original lost...

Now, didn't he also had a muddy scene as well in Swiss Family Robinson (1960?) when he and the gang rescued a zebra from a muddy pit?

I know he had at least one muddy scene in Swiss Family Robinson. The story was the family had a fun day as a break from their work at just surviving on the island. There was a race, and I believe MacArthur was riding the aforementioned zebra. The animal threw him and he wound up in the mud. From what I've read, that was a blooper. That was not in the script. However, upon seeing the footage, the director thought it was so funny, he decided to leave it in.

MacArthur had acting in his blood. His mother was none other than Helen Hays, the First Lady of Broadway.

So long, Danno. We'll miss you.
