Robert Brown, the actor best known for starring in the ABC series Here Come the Brides, died in September. Originally from New Jersey, he was originally set to play the lead role of Det. Steve McGarrett on Hawaii Five-0 before being replaced by Jack Lord. Brown appeared in several films before landing a guest-starring role in a 1967 episode of Star Trek, after John Drew Barrymore failed to show up the morning of shooting.
He then starred in Here Come the Brides, a western that aired from 1968 to 1970; had two Broadway appearances; and appeared in Bewitched, Primus and Columbo, among other roles in television series and movies.
