  • Does anyone know what year this is from???

  • The late '80s but I'm unsure of the exact year.

  • It couldn't have been the late 80s. I think they died in the mid 70s.

  • Actually Jim Backus died on July 3, 1989 (age 76) and Natalie Schafer died on April 10, 1991 (age 90).

    Who would have thought that she was 13 years older than he was? He was 54 when Gilligan ended and she was 67!

    Natalie would never tell her age for fear of being typecast older -- and with good reason! She was in great shape.

  • @bigpopparamma They were, in fact, a well-known and well-liked threesome in Hollywood.

  • @BBQkrewe ????

  • @MIKESOWELL yer nuckin' futs.

  • I think Jim Bacus was in the very early stages of Alzheimer's Disease when this was made.

  • They were sort of like Rose Marie and Morey Amsterdam on the "Dick Van Dyke Show" (who also did a number of other projects together, including a nightclub act together, after the DVD Show had ended). They just belonged together, and if one of them appeared somewhere, fans would always ask where the other one was.
