Re: The John Hillerman Thread
Do you know when those pictures of Hillerman were taken, and if they might have been taken around some kind of interview with a magazine or something?Sam wrote:Not a big deal.
Some of you may remember that Hillerman's Waikiki condo was for sale again.At the time we saw the listing photos of the condo.Two years ago I found these pictures of Hillerman taken inside his condo.It was just three photos of Hillerman and I tried to match them against the listing photos.

I remember seeing an interview with Hillerman back in the 80's on one of those "Entertainment Tonight" type shows from his condo.All I remember is Hillerman sitting at a table on the lanai.
The 3 previous photos and the 2 new ones were done by a Michael Ochs who was a big deal Rock photographer. From Wikipedia.
The Los Angeles Times called Ochs "America's preeminent rock 'n' roll photo archivist"[2] and described his archive as "the dominant force in the rock image marketplace";[3] The New York Times called it "the premier source of musician photography in the world".[1] Ochs sold the archive to Getty Images in 2007....
Hey CR....I noticed in the Getty images pages the info on the photo may say..."Gillis Collection" and the credited photographer..Luther Gillis.
The best I can come up with is Ochs named his photos...Donaldson Collection..here is a link.

Re: The John Hillerman Thread
Just noticed Hillerman is wearing a digital wristwatch .... maybe that answers the "why does Higgins wear a digital watch" question.

and other one from 1987JOHN HILLERMAN, who is probably best known for playing British major-domo Jonathan Higgins on "Magnum, P.I.," has decided to sell his Hollywood home.
"I spend most of my time up at Lake Arrowhead, where I am writing a book and a TV series," he said. "So it's silly for me to keep such a large house in town."
The Hollywood house, which he bought in 1991, is about the same size as his 8,000-square-foot Lake Arrowhead home, but the Hollywood house also has "one of the best views in the city," he said. He's asking $2.4 million.
"I really prefer Lake Arrowhead to L.A. when I'm not working (on a set)," he said. He plans to sell the Hollywood house and buy a condo where he can stay when he's in the city.
Hillerman, 61, appeared in the German TV series "Berlin Break" (1993) and in the TV movie "Hands of a Murderer" (1990).
His Hollywood Home is listed with Kay Pick of Mike Silverman Estates, a Jon Douglas Co., Beverly Hills.

"How fiendishly deceptive of you Magnum. I could have sworn I was hearing the emasculation of a large rodent."

Re: The John Hillerman Thread
That was a good read. It is always fun to read interviews from when it actually aired on television.
So Hillerman thought that Magnum would last five years, thats interesting.

Re: The John Hillerman Thread
Wow, great links, ThomasMagnum!
It it just me or does Hillerman actually sound like he was the one living a bit more like Magnum or even Mac than you'd expect...
I like to do whatever I want to do when I want to do it. Sometimes for dinner, I feel like a hot fudge sundae. So I go and have a large hot fudge sundae and I don't have somebody nagging at me, 'Eat your meat and veggies.'
Sometimes, when he isn't working... he will simply loll the day away in bed.

Re: The John Hillerman Thread
So while I was looking up Agatha, I also looked into the Sgt Maj.
Born December 20, 1932 in Denison, Texas at his family home:
Mr & Mrs Hillerman had the following children:
John Bennidict Hillerman (1932 - ) married ???
Photo caption says (it couldn't be an error)
Rose Mary Hillerman (1926 - 2008) who married and had 3 children:
Jo Ann Hillerman (1935 - ) Married Christopher Leonard Tritico, 1 daughter
On the 1940 Census, he is listed as Jack Benn Hillerman
On his birth certificate he is listed as John Bennedict Hillerman - His mother then requested that it be corrected to John Benedict Hillerman - officially recorded by the Registrar in 1970. How bloody curious
Also this article from The Denison Press, 1949 regarding John (Jack) and his sister Jo Ann
I would love to find out if he had/has a wife
