You have questions. I have some answers.
Q: What happened to the original stars of “The Wild Wild West”?
A: Fans well remember the 1965-69 adventure series starring Robert Conrad as James T. West, “the James Bond of Westerns” according to one book, and Ross Martin as his master-of-disguise partner Artemus Gordon. This was Conrad’s second series, following "Hawaiian Eye" in 1959-63. He would go on to star in different TV series in the ‘50s, ‘60s, ‘70s, ‘80s and ‘90s. He was famous as well for his Eveready battery commercials and for TV movies including “Will,” where he played G. Gordon Liddy, and the miniseries “Centennial.” He and Martin also reunited for two “Wild Wild West” TV movies.
