BEVERLY HILLS, CALIF.– Richard Anderson, best known for his role as Oscar Goldman, the head of a secret scientific government organization on the 1970s series “The Six Million Dollar Man” and its spinoff, “The Bionic Woman,” died Aug. 31 at his home here. He was 91.
MSTies will remember his supporting role as Grant in the movie in episode 615- KITTEN WITH A WHIP.
The Hollywood Reporter has the story.
Thanks to Timmy for the heads up.
We can make him better than he was before. RIP!
Sadly, this is one of those cases where an actor dies and I think “he was alive?”.
But RIP. The Six MIllion Dollar Man was probably my favorite show as a kid, at least aside from Emergency!
his character was kinda of bland, but is probably best known for the narration of the opening (or most of it)
With nearly 200 credits on his resume’, it seems as if it was Richard Anderson’s CAREER that was ‘bionic’.
Goodbye, “Oscar Goldman”. Steve Austin and Jaime Sommers never had a finer boss……..or better friend.
on the Bionic Man:
this is the real crash:

if you are ever in DC, the Air and Space Museum has the M2-F3 (the next in the series)

“Our dad was always there for us and showed us by loving example how to live a full and rich life with gratitude, grace, humor and fun.”
Is there a better accolade than that for a life well lived?
I like the way you think. Two of my favorite shows as a kid as well.
TSMDM hit TV when I was 10 years old. Loved the show. Me and my buddy ran around doing everything in slo-mo, and made those bizarre sound effects with every move. :) Good times.
On top of that, I have it to credit/blame for the still-existent photos of me in leisure suits. :o
Indeed. RIP, Oscar.
Anyone else have the Six Million Dollar Man doll as a kid? With the bionic extra arm and the red eye you could look through?
