Lloyd Bridges

Oh, that made me cringe.

But yes, Lloyd Bridges, Colonel Floyd Graham, and Osa Madsen's Dr. Lisa Van Horn do fall in love.

What about their legacy? Destination Moon is a legitimate science fiction film, despite having to work with the special effects available at the time.

It showed audiences that space travel could be portrayed realistically and inspired future films, NASA engineers, and public imagination.

It was a pattern that went throughout her career, even dating back before this film.

She did a, a movie called Pride of Bluegrass with Lloyd Bridges, and he's the love interest, and he's also significantly older than she, she is.

Um, it was something that, you know, for lack of a better term, was maybe kind of typecast for her because she, even though was younger than these actors, she also displayed a, a, a m- a, a maturity that could put her toe-to-toe with some of th- some of these actors.

I mean, we're talking about heavyweights like Wayne, Stewart, and Fonda.

You're already in.

You're like, "I need, I need to know why this was a thing they synced up on, why Lloyd Bridges was like this is a story we both need to tell."

I'm gonna help my s- my son out here, yeah.

I'm gonna help my Beau, my Beau.

They're doing their tour of the, of the compound.

The full cheap-

Lloyd Bridges-

... tour around all the-

I digress.

So yeah, and his brother, his dad, I mean, Lloyd Bridges, J- Jeff Bridges, and then w- who's the brother? The brother is, um-

Beau? Is that Beau Bridges?

Beau.

I, I, I'm actually...

Even though I've beaten Lloyd Bridges' record, I'm gonna fucking hold my breath on this one.

Well, um-

That's obscure.

A lot of people don't know that Lloyd Bridges had the ability to hold his breath for, like, ever.

No, I, I...

Who would know that, though? 269-

from the briny deep.

We also celebrate the great Mike Nelson, character played by Lloyd Bridges, and the most famous show of all time, Seahawk.

This time I couldn't take Pete topside, not till the job was done.

Instead, I gave him some of my air and prayed that it would stall off the effects of oxygen poisoning for a few minutes at least.

Ed Asner played the, the captain.

Lloyd Bridges.

Y- y- yeah.

L- L- Lloyd Bridges.

Yes, yes.

Uh, Sandy Duncan.
