I ran across another Press Release for that audiobook/play "McKnight's Memory" ... this one highlighting our Bob. I imagine the author has a Press Release going for each of the actors. If his last audiobook "Hard Rock Lovers" is any indication, he does well at promoting his stuff.





The Press Release is titled "I SPY Actor Robert Culp a Spy Again."


There is still no information on when the audiobook will be available. But it sure sounds interesting - as does the cast!

And while you are checking that out, look in at this site, too. As I mentioned the other day, there is a "Columbo" videoclip with Bob, up on YouTube, done in Czech ... and it's very enjoyable to watch!

Well, there is now one in French, too, on Truveo ... "Le Grain De Sable" (The Most Crucial Game) - The guy doing Columbo's voice is not bad, but the one doing Bob didn't capture him too well .... but again, just watch this for the body language between the two, no words needed ... and it is great fun to watch!

This is the videoclip for the beginning of the episode ....

and this one is Part 3 .... just watch them together - great in any language!

And I'm going to try to embed the YouTube screen for that delightful and very funny cameo appearance of Bob as a waiter on "Get Smart" - when they did their take-off of "I SPY."










If this doesn't work, you can find it at:

..... and check out this site for more Video and photos of the "Get Smart" episode "Die Spy."

Tatia,

You are my personal cornucopeia of Culp candy! I just LOVED that clip. I had never seen it before. Bob was wonderful, and I was just smiling and laughing the whole time. Thanks for embedding that; it worked fine!

I recently heard from Danny Biederman, the author of "The Incredible World of SPY-Fi" .... and collector extraordinaire of Spy TV and Movie memorabilia. His SPY-Fi Collection is currently on display at the "Queen Mary" in Long Beach, CA - through January - and was exhibited here in Washington at the "International Spy Museum."

Danny's Book (there's a section on "I SPY" in it)




Danny with part of his collection ...




And that's Danny on the far left - and Kelly Robinson himself -
signing his tennis racket from "I SPY," which Danny brought to SPYFEST.
The signed racket is now part of his SPY-FI Collection.






Danny wrote and said to check out the official C.I.A. website .....

because it features an article entitled


"SPY-Fi Archives: Where the Worlds of Entertainment and Intelligence Collide."


For the following links, you will need to cut and paste them. The C.I.A. has a note on their website, that they have changed all their URLs from "http" to the more secure, encrypted "https" - "to assure visitor confidentiality." Since Network54 does not recognize "https" as links, you will need to cut and paste!! (I feel like I'm back in Russ Conway's SPY SCHOOL class with Dr. Akivic watching.)






The article "SPY-Fi Archives: Where the Worlds of Entertainment and Intelligence Collide."


https://www.cia.gov/news-information/featured-story-archive/spy-fi-archives.html


Aahh .... TV and Movie Spies and the "real" deal - together - curiouser and curiouser!!


You can also take the C.I.A. Virtual Tour of the SPY-Fi Archives highlights at:


https://www.cia.gov/about-cia/cia-museum/spy-fi-archives/index.html


and find the C.I.A.'s profile of Danny, too!


https://www.cia.gov/about-cia/cia-museum/spy-fi-archives/biederman_bio.html


Here's their main site, also, for those of you interested.

O.K., O.K., so the C.I.A.'s website can't actually be putting out that much information/news for the general public on what they are really doing, now can they ??

I had once read that over 90% of the people working at N.A.S.A. had grown up with - and been influenced by - STAR TREK. Well, it sure looks like the gang over at the C.I.A. were probably watching Kelly & Scotty, and Napoleon & Illya, and Mrs. Peel & John Steed, and Max & 99, etc., etc. ..... during their formative years!







Thanks Danny ... nice article.

All my best,

Tatia
