Singer-actor-comedian Paul Gilbert had already had an adventurous life before he ever made it to Hollywood.
Born into a vaudevillian family, he trained with South American
aerialists and traveled with the circus until a dramatic 65-foot fall
ended his high-flying career, according to a 1954 article in Time
magazine. He was an accomplished singer and dancer, talents frequently
on display during the next few decades of TV and film work.
Gilbert, who served in the U.S. military as a fighter pilot and
started on the nightclub circuit as an entertainer, made his series
debut in 1954 in a half-hour show called "The Duke," a fish-out-of-water
comedy that ran for 13 episodes on NBC. His other TV appearances
included "The NBC Comedy Hour," "The Dick Van Dyke Show" and "Lux Video
Theater" along with "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In," "The Dean Martin
Comedy Hour" and "The Ed Sullivan Show."
Gilbert and his fourth wife, actress Barbara Crane, adopted Jonathan
and Melissa Gilbert, who became part of the cast of '70s hit drama,
"Little House on the Prairie." He died of a stroke in 1975. Source: LATimes
