Comic actor BOB DENVER (1935-2005) is best known for two roles: Maynard G. Krebs
on The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis (1959-1963) and bumbling first mate Willie Gilligan
on Gilligan's Island (1964-1967). He played Rufus Butterworth on The Good Guys
(1968-1970). Denver, who would reprise his Gilligan role in several made-for-TV movies,
had made his film debut in 1959 (A Private's Affair). His film credits also include Take Her,
She's Mine (1963) and Back to the Beach (1987), and Denver also appeared on Broadway in
Play It Again, Sam (1969-1970). He made several guest starring appearances on television,
from Perry Como's Kraft Music Hall (1960) to ET in TV Land (2003), including multiple
roles on Love, American Style and Fantasy Island. JOHN RAITT began drawing portraits of
famous people while a college student in the 1930s. He sent his artwork to each subject with a
request that it be autographed and returned to him. Tape affixed at corners. Otherwise, fine
condition.
