""The last six years of my life were devoted to him, and his to me. In that time, he taught me more than I could ever put into words - about the art of Hollywood, the magic of the stage, and the depth and complexity of human nature. I wish so very much that I had more time with him.""
"TV fans of a certain age would long remember 'H.R. Pufnstuf,' the live-action puppet series with its cheerful theme song, the dragon who gave the show its name - and served as Mayor of Living Island - and such memorable, supporting characters as the larcenous witch Wilhelmina W. Witchiepoo, and her patented Vroom Broom."
"'H.R. Pufnstuf' only aired for 17 episodes, in 1969, but lived on for decades in reruns and syndication. It ranked 27th in a 2007 TV Guide poll of all-time cult favorites."
"Other Krofft productions included 'Land of the Lost,' 'Electra Woman and Dyna Girl' and 'Pryor's Place,' featuring comedian Richard Pryor."
