Veteran television and film actor Robert Logan has died at the age of 82. The Hollywood Reporter confirmed with his son, Anthony Logan, that the actor died of natural causes on Monday, May 6 at his home in Florida, and his family waited to reveal the news until now. Logan, a Brooklyn, New York, native, was the oldest of eight children in his family, according to his obituary, the son of banker Frank Logan and homemaker Catherine Logan. The family moved to Los Angeles when Logan was in high school. The New York Times reported that he got a scholarship to play baseball at the University of Arizona, Tucson, and it was during his time at the university that he was scouted by a talent agent with Warner Bros. and quit the sport to join the entertainment world. His obituary tells a different story, citing a “coaching change” as the reason he...

Robert Logan, who succeeded Edd “Kookie” Byrnes as the valet parking attendant on the famed ABC detective show 77 Sunset Strip and starred as the dad in a series of return-to-nature adventure movies, has died. He was 82.

Logan died May 6 of natural causes in Estero, Florida, his son, Anthony Logan, told The Hollywood Reporter. His family chose to wait until this week to announce his death.

After Gerald Lloyd Kookson III was promoted from parking attendant at Dino’s Lodge — a nightclub owned by Dean Martin — to partner and private investigator at the detective agency next door, the Brooklyn-born Logan joined Warner Bros. Television’s 77 Sunset Strip to play his replacement, another hipster named J.R. Hale.

On the swanky series that starred Efrem Zimbalist Jr. and Roger Smith as the crime solvers Stu Bailey and Jeff Spencer, respectively, Logan portrayed Hale on 50 episodes of the show’s final two seasons,...

.You don.t want to grow up ignorant, do you?. No that.s not Joey Lawrence on the cover, but the classic family adventure hit returns to DVD. It may not be the most realistic depiction of a family going back to nature but it does have folksy charm. Skip (Robert Logan) and Pat Robinson (Susan Damante-Shaw) are sick of the rat race and congestion of city life. There.s also another type of congestion as their daughter Jenny (Hollye Holmes) is suffering from allergies and exhaustion. So they do the logical thing, they pack up the family dog and son Toby (Ham Larsen) and buy some land in the mountains and live off the land. Their neighbors are...

Skip Robinson is fed up with city life. So when his daughter is vaguely diagnosed with some ailment caused by city smog, Skip decides this is the perfect reason to ditch the real world and move him and his family to the middle of the wilderness. Billed as the first film in “the greatest family series of all time,” Adventures of the Wilderness Family is a feel-good family film from 1975 about enjoying the great outdoors.

Robert F. Logan as Skip looks built for wilderness survival, but his wife Pat (Susan Damante-Shaw) seems more hesitant to jump into that life. Despite her worries, she brings her two children—Jenny (Hollye Holmes) and Toby (Ham Larsen)—into the beautiful and dangerous Colorado wilderness. They quickly build a Lincoln Log cabin and settle into the outdoorsy life.

When AfterElton asked me if I'd be interested in doing a story on full-frontal male nudity in the movies, I said, “Interested? I've been researching it since I was 12!” What prompted the idea is of course the film Shame, which stars Michael Fassbender as a man addicted to sex. When the film debuted at the Venice Film Festival earlier this year it set off a shockwave because of its sexual explicitness, including a much-discussed full-frontal reveal by Fassbender. Add to that the recent flurry of attention that stills of Jonathan Groff's nude scene in Twelve Thirty hitting the Internet generated, and it seems like these days cinema penises are a trending topic.

Everyone from film critics to Freudian analysts to gender theorists has written about male nudity in film. And sorting through the pronouncements on the male gaze and Lacanian mirrors and power inequities between the sexes in Hollywood...
