Beloved ‘Lost in Space’ Child Star, 71, is Unrecognizable in Rare Public Appearance<\/a> originally appeared on Parade<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A beloved star of the ’60s was spotted out and about in a rare appearance in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

Bill Mumy, 71, who rose to stardom as a child actor in the role of Will Robinson on Lost in Space, was spotted by the Daily Mail running errands. Wearing a navy blue T-shirt and jeans, the former child star, who made appearances on shows like Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie, sported a beard, shaggy hair, and sunglasses as he hoisted a bag of garbage over his head.<\/p>\n

However, it was Mumy’s role as Will Robinson in Lost in Space that earned him significant notoriety. He portrayed the role from 1965 to 1968, but also appeared in a couple of episodes of the 2018 Netflix remake of the series.<\/p>\n

These days, the actor, musician, and father of two is still very active in Hollywood and has released a variety of albums of his own.<\/p>\n
