James MacArthur, son of Helen Hayes, and the one, the only, the original, Danny “Danno” Williams.
No snark here. Instead, let’s pay tribute to the late Mr. MacArthur with a moment of something that’s not quite silence.
I have my problems with Jack Lord’s politics as reflected in the series, but the original series itself is vastly under-appreciated, I think. For sure, that opening credit sequence is, especially the helicopter zoom on Jack Lord. Here’s how they got that shot.
You realize, of course, everyone who gets a credit in that opening is dead. Jack Lord died in 1998, Gilbert Francis Lani Damian Kauhi (“Zulu”) in 2004, and Kam Fong in 2002.
