"Warning! Warning! Epstein's Mother Approaching!"

Two beloved TV icons are heading up to The Gates together, but they'll live on in perpetual reruns...

Robert Hegyes, best known for playing Jewish Puerto Rican sweathog Juan Epstein on Welcome Back Kotter has died at the age of 60. Epstein was famous for always trying to pass off notes to get out of class, always signing them "Epstein's mother."
Who was Dick Tufeld? Why the immortal voice of the Lost in Space robot, that's who! Tufeld was also the voice of Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color and did voice work in numerous other Irwin Allen shows, including Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. 


Thanks for some great times, fellas. You will be missed.
