Robin from the Dynamic Duo and Lost in Space
I'm such a sucker for these old worlds-in-collision shots from the Paramount backlot. Here, we have Robin (Burt Ward) from the classic "Batman" television series with Billy Mumy and Angela Cartwright from "Lost in Space." What I like about these shots - probably taken at lunchtime when everyone was hurrying off for a sandwich or pizza - is that everyone is in costume, immaculate, and appear just like they would on-screen. They appear to be standing in front of a "boulder" from "Lost in Space."
A little digging shows this picture was taken in 1966. Here's another one from the same meeting.

This apparently was on the "Batman" set at 20th Century Fox Studios. Everyone always seems to have had a great time on the old sets, it doesn't look faked or have people gritting their teeth.

Everyone had fancy rides in the '60! Adam West and Van Williams with the Black Beauty car (The Everett Collection). |
I'll continue to post these old "worlds in collision" shots from time to time, they're a great halfway point between fantasy and reality.
