Bob Crane

Robert Edward “Bob” Crane (July 13, 1928 – June 29, 1978) was an American actor, best known for his performance as Colonel Robert E. Hogan in the television sitcom Hogan’s Heroes from 1965 to 1971, and for his unsolved death.

Crane was an inveterate womanizer who kept extensive records of his exploits. Years before camcorders were common, Crane videotaped his encounters with hundreds of women. He was assisted by his friend John Carpenter who supplied Crane with taping apparatus. Crane, in turn, was a source of women for Carpenter, and the pair would often double date. Their friendship extended to the bedroom, where they at least once engaged in a threesome which was, of course, videotaped.

It seems like a rational person would think twice about doing saving ordinances for a sexual addict who was murdered by his friend and partner. But I guess he was just so cute in Hogan’s Heroes that he can be forgiven for exploiting women on tape. I guess that’s good news for today’s Hollywood crowd, who is so fond of making these sorts of videos.
