(Not to derail a thread for Harve - may he rest in peace - but this has been a bad two weeks for Trek. It flew under most people's radars but TNG producer Maurice Hurley died a few days previous to Leonard Nimoy. He left the show after Season 2 but he was also the person who created The Borg, so he had a substantial influence on the property.)
If I'm not mistaken, Harve Bennett's voice can be heard in the main titles of The Six Million Dollar Man. He's the one saying "Steve Austin, astronaut. A man barely alive."
And then Richard Anderson (Oscar Goldman) says "Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology." BTW, Richard Anderson is 88 now.
Yes, I posted in the other Star Trek thread, but Harve was a great and gentle spoken man, a terrific producer and writer too. Any man that could work with Shatner as director, he had a deep and patient soul. Bless him and his family, what a great guy.

From everything I've read and seen of the man, Mr. Bennett struck me as being particularly gifted at getting widely disparate personalities to work together as a unit towards whatever particular goal was desired. No small feat considering the types of egos at play in any given group of artists, and all the more remarkable because I perceived him as not having an overly pronounced ego of his own. I join those of the opinion that he was fundamental in getting ST back on its feet and for that we will always be grateful.
