He was on DOOL as Robert LeClair on and off from 1972-1987 but is probably best remembered for his role on Hogan's Heroes.

Thanks @jam6242 for posting Bill&Susan Hayes instagram tribute to Robert Clary.

Click on the link to see the video they included in their IG post.
If you can't see the wonderful video, here is a copy attached:

In a facebook post announcing the passing of Robert Clary, Julianna McCarthy (ex-Liz Foster on Y&R) wrote that she was still angry about the disrespect TPTB at the time heaped on him. Janice Lynde (ex-Leslie Brooks) then chimed in and echoed the sentiments. I'm saddened to hear that RC was treated so badly by the show; badly enough for both actresses to still be annoyed about it today. Clary was an asset to Y&R and deserved better.

That’s sad. I hope most of the disrespect was from producers and crew members and not Bill Bell.

Just caught a Rerun of Hogan's Heroes 😭

 

In a 1980 interview in the Oakland Tribune, Jed Allan unloaded on what he thought was wrong with Days. He had strong opinons on Clary.

Allan said Clary "should never have been fired. He was very definitive. It was a dumb thing to do."

Would love to read that interview! Would you be able to share it?

Go to Newspapers.com and search for Jed Allan and Days 1980 in the clippings section. Both pages should be available for viewing.

In studying the Laemmle era, I knew Days was in a bad place, but Allan's frustrations make it seem so much worse.

Thanks for that. I found it easily. Very interesting to see an actor speaking out about their show, especially Days of that era.

I'm going to post it in the Classic Days thread, as I think a lot of posters would enjoy it.

They definitely needed to invest more in Robert.

You can tell just by reading the recaps that once the secret about Dougie’s paternity came out, there was pretty much nothing for him to do. Bringing him back a few years later and tying him to the Dimera’s was a good idea though

Julianna McCarthy clarified the situation a bit more.

 

Julianna McCarthy:

Well they wrote him out with no notice or warning He found out from Wardrobe They

had a little farewell party with white frosting ghost cupcakes

He was much loved

But management?

 

Kay Alden Nelson:

Julianna McCarthy Julianna! I had no idea things happened that way with Robert. I would guess the power battles might have begun by then, because Bill Bell adored that man.

Bill Bell wrote him back into Days the next year.

Bill made the choice to drop Robert but I guess he assumed that Conboy would alert him in plenty of time and give him a decent send off.

He was the first of the original cast to go so up till that point they had all been working together for over a year.
