I met David Janssen when I was a little girl. My parents were looking at property in Nevada City / Grass Valley area of California. It was a scorching hot summer day and they decided to visit the historic National Hotel in downtown Nevada City for a cool drink. My mother, who was a big fan looked over towards the bar and said to my Father, "Isn't that David Janssen?" He said, "It sure is". He was dressed in a beautiful black tuxedo and even at a young age I thought he was very handsome. My mother reached inside her purse and pulled out a pen and note pad and handed it to me to ask for an autograph. I bashfully went over to him and politely asked for his autograph. He was so nice! He said, "He'd be honored to". He then asked my name and began to write. I still have his autograph in my scrapbook from 1973. It reads, "My pleasure, Vonna.. Thank you, David Janssen."

For me it's not so much a person's looks but their voice, such as James Mason and Richard Burton etc you can hear their voices on the radio and exactly who they are. David had that kind of voice. Loved him in Harry O in which another two favourite actors appeared Henry Darrow and Anthony Zerbe.

David Jansen had a good impact on my life. I wanted to be like him. I knew he was good. I was only eight when the fugitive started it is my favorite tv program of all time. It’s my favorite because I felt like I was in the room with him , I was only 8 years old , but it’s hard to put into words how watching someone like he was in the fugitive can make you want to be good. Some of the episodes still make me cry today. I wish he was still alive today.

We ALL loved David Jenssen's persona as an actor; But I wonder if there are any x-wives or girlfriends who would agree with me that David had a very nasty-rude side after a few drinks when he wasn't getting enough attention? Yep-I saw the very tall, well-built handsome man come in to BJ's Lobster house, one Sunday night-didn't see a lady with him, now I don't wonder why not? I was singing an old standard around closing , propped up with my guitar and amp behind the piano, singing a request at about One AM. The man, who had been sitting at the bar drinking alone, "ran" up behind me, and tapped me on the shoulder, and said in MY mike' "Let's not have any more of that crap, let's do Melancholy Baby for the crowd !" What the heck?My answer , "But of course!" And there wasn't much left of "a crowd" either ? I wasn't going to argue with a drunk, and then, I also finally recognized him as he turned around!I could have simply taken a "break" and let him have his show, but thought it best to try to "work with him" as best I could. (I believe he might have been offended that I hadn't asked him for an autograph?) Thank God I knew the chords, and was not bombed at the time, myself, having had a glass of wine four hours prior! I tried to harmonize with him as best I could to cover how aggressive he was acting, but his solo was simply all over the place ! BJ's was a great hang-out for employees from the Pierpont Inn, down the 101, and the Ventura Cadillac car dealership lot to the North; and the tips were better and the output less demanding, so I' d refused a Sat. night gig and chose to sing on Sundays and Mondays instead. I kept wondering " What's this guy doing, driving around drunk at one AM ? Perhaps he didn't have to punch the clock like allot of us have to on a Monday morning, right ? True Story, BJ's was located a block away from the California St. exit , Ventura, California and has since been redesigned into a Mexican Restaurant. Bet he would'a liked my rendition of "I Fall to Pieces," done classical-style, and when he said "none of this crap," he was referring to a country song? Anyone ?

A bit of trivia. As a little kid I remember Janssen starring in a TV show in the 50s where he played a private detective named Richard Diamond. One of the pictures in your collage of him in a car with a hat on is from that show. When he would call his office, his assistant would respond, but only her legs would be seen on the screen. The assistant was played by Mary Tyler Moore. Enjoy...

Really he was great at playing a regular guy or Everyman type character which is not easy for most actors, because most actors are greedy & want to add some unique quirky trait to a character. He never overacted either, you can see why he got so much work. He was just believable in every role he played. Unfortunately the story of over drinking & smoking is very believable because even though he was a handsome man some of those pics he looks way over 50 yet he only made it to 48.

Lots of secrets here. But let’s keep it simple. He smoked constantly. He was a heavy drinker. He thought by taking vitamins he could repair the damage he’d done to himself. He aged quickly and horribly. The man looked decades older than he was. He loved big blondes! He promised many women that he was going to marry them. One who he was in love with who was a petite brunette was Suzanne Phesette. It is reported that they both agreed to divorce their spouses and marry each other. Suzanne left David when it was apparent that he was waiting too long and may not be sincere about this. This was they say, typical of David. Before his death he looked horrible. His voice was weak and more horse than ever. He had gained weight and was on a fiber cookie diet.

As a young teenager at the time in the West-Indies, I watched the Fugitive every Wednesday at eight o'clock with the entire family. This was a weekly EVENT that could not be missed. It was very exciting and suspenseful and caused so much anxiety to viewers. Most people could not wait for that one-armed man to be caught and brought to justice. When the final episode was to be aired, the public was well notified in advance so everyone who had a TV was glued to it. For those who didn't have a TV, they went to a neighbor or a friend to watch. It had that kind of effect on people. My mother always said that playing the part of the Fugitive made David Janssen a very solemn and sad person. He literally was always looking over his shoulder. He had a presence but it wasn't the kind of presence of say a Gregory Peck or John Wayne. Janssen's presence was one of sadness and sorrow but I guess that reflected how good of an actor he was.

I knew David Janssen and Henry Darrow while in the Navy, I had a friend that was his driver and met David on the set of Harry O at the boat on the Coronado Island and after getting to know him I was a stand-in on 3 of the episodes but my favorite scene was on the Farris Wheel in San Diego. David Janssen was one of the nicest people that you would ever meet. David would have to take a nap around 12 noon or so every day because of the drinking while on set. We had some great times and went to many parties at Henry Darrow's house during the years I was around him and the crew on set. One of the best memories was a scene at the San Diego University where there was supposed to be a Lincoln Continental that went over the hill and crashed, it was supposed to be a different location. While waiting for the scene to begin, myself, my wife at the time, and Ron, David Janssen's driver were at the car and I jumped on the front of the Lincoln to sit for a bit and the hood ornament went through my right butt cheek and the doctor on-site had to sew me up. When the Lincoln was sent over the hill it went about 20 feet and stopped sideways so the crew and I went down to the car and we had to lift the passenger side of the car and roll it down the hill 20 to 30 feet at a time. It was one of the greatest experiences of my life knowing David Janssen and the crew with Henry Darrow, another saint of a person.

@@jaybrown1828 People are absurd! Clark Gable was working on a play in New York while David Jansen's mother lived in southern Nebraska. They were both good looking men, but they really don't look the much alike and certainly had entirely different personalities. Believe the gossip and you'll identify many other "children" of Clark Gable.

@@davegreene8588 Undoubtedly as many stars resemble each other. Resembling someone doesn't make them related. My youngest son has portfolio photos that greatly resemble both Mel Gibson and Tom Cruise but absolutely no relationship other than also being an actor. Like my eldest son said, "He had that look" meaning this is what they are seeking in the movie industry. I had not really considered it before, but if we look at any particular time period, many of the leading actors heavily resembled each other. It doesn't stop at actors, however. There is a man in Australia, actually a not-nice guy, that I ran across a video of that I would swear is my father when he was in his 40s! He not only looks like him, he sounds and moves like him - they could literally be identical twins born decades apart, but not even distantly related. I send a clip to my sister and she saw it as well. It was eerie. Everyone has at least one "double" out there which is not surprising since there are only so many ways the same features can be assembled to make a face. In 1978, a dear friend came into my office and was furious I had snubbed her at a night club previously on Saturday night. I was home with my family, but to this day she does not believe it was not me!

God, I loved this man ; my only problem with his character was that he was the worst fighter for someone who seemed to constantly be involved in fisticuffs due to his position. Also, whenever I see Mr Janssen I'm always reminded of my father who has been gone from this earth for 39 years. My father wasn't that big on tv, except when " THE FUGITIVE " came on .
