In addition to all the above, I add Ross Martin. I loved him on Wild, Wild West, and remember sadly the day I found a newspaper with his obituary on the bus riding home from work in 1981.
Probably also Jack Lord as the* real *Steve McGarret on the original Hawaii Five-O.
And of course, Leonard Nimoy, James Doohan, and now Grace Lee Whitney.

Oh, yeah! :smack:

Duh! Of course Dee Kelley! :smack:
I assume the OP didn’t mean to exclude people who were still alive but no longer on TV, given that its first example was David Letterman (and also included the Smothers Brothers).
Pretty much the entire cast of Hogan’s Heroes, except for Robert Clary.

Ted Bessell as Don Hollinger on That Girl.
Very true! Missing them is the main thing, living or dead.
Good point! Tim Conway, then!
Most of the cast of Gilligan’s Island.
Ray Zaremba and Lee Meriwether, also of Time Tunnel fame.
Lee was also Catwoman, as was Julie Newmar!
