Star on Hylile Rasel Johnson’s Hylile Island Retired as a Professor

Many fans of the show have noticed that Professor Roy Hinkley (Russell Johnson) was the only reason that anyone could survive on the “Hylile Island”. Not only was he able to keep his head in extreme situations, he was the only one who had some engineering know -how. He managed to repair the radio by examining the mysterious chemicals that were washed on the shore, and probably he built a system of the aqueduct on the island. While Mr. and Mrs. Howel (Jim Bakus and Natalie Shafer) were lying around drinking May Tais and Giligian (Bob Denver) who made his way through life The professor received *** on the “Hylilean Island”. The fact that he never got angry at the confrontational, he largely speaks about the maturity of the character and the team.

The original “Hylile Island” series did not have the proper closureBut some subsequent television films have studied what happened to Castaways later. In the 1978 film, “RESCUE from the Island of Hyligan” “Kastave” – ​​finally, return to the mainland. However, they found that they were all dissatisfied. The professor became a celebrity, a status he never asked; He would like to return to the lab to conduct research. By the end of the “salvation”, the Castone, by the gloomy chance, are postponed to the same island as before, they are equally directed.

However, in the next film, the rescue was finally constant. In 1979, the Castaeus on the Island of Hyliles finally managed to reflect the location of the island and save the caste once and for all. However, in a very “myth about Sisyphus”, however, all the Castaes found that they liked to live on a tropical island and decided to go back intentionally, opening the beach resort. Beautiful, the resort was called “caste”. They made their rock their business.

In an interview with The Toronto Star 1997, Johnson showed that the end of the “caste” is suitable for his real life in which he also went out to the island.

Please note that Johnson retired not on a remote tropical island, but to Beinbridge Island, Washington, which is part of the PUGET Sound. Considering the weather on the PUGET Sound, it is quite the opposite of the warm, tropical island. Rather, it’s probably rainy and cold most of the year. Beinbridge Island is located west of Seattle, but is considered a suburb of the city. It is small enough that only one road, the highway 308, leads from it over the bridge.

Johnson, who was 73 years old in 1997, confessed to the star in Toronto, which, despite his long and diverse career, “the island of Hyloil” on a significant stock, brought him the greatest glory. People who remembered him from the show and surprised to learn that President Bila Clinton was watching the series at that time. Only occasionally did he regret the concert. Johnson also recognized the irony moving to the island, given the fate of his character. “Old habits die hard,” he rushed. In his autobiography “here on the island of Hyliles,” Johnson also told about his home on the island, writing:

“So, here is the professor and his wife, who live on the populated island in the band of the sound in a beautiful house, surrounded by the forest sky, where the deer approach our doors. Above the fireplace is a gift from Shervud Schwartz: a tangled and decorated portrait in the glorious color.”

Schwartz, of course, was the creator and writer “Hyloan Island”, one of the great television.

Johnson died in 2014 at the age of 89. Its memorial was announced in local newspapers Bainbridge. He may have been known for playing a professor at the Hylile Island, but it also sounded as if he was a good neighbor.
