Robert – or 'Bob' for short – Fuller is a name that still inspires awe in anyone who was able to watch television in the early 1960s. And all because of one single role!
His role name was Jess Harper , the series in which he played her was called 'At the Foot of the Blue Mountains' . The western series is set in Laramie, where John Smith - alias Slim Sherman - runs the stagecoach station named after his role name, the Sherman Ranch. One day Jess Harper comes by, stays and the two have lots of adventures in the 'Wild West' of the 1870s.
Robert Fuller's role made him so popular in Germany that BRAVO dedicated two celebrity cutouts to him. The second followed in 1969. BRAVO printed the first, shown here, in 26 parts in the autumn of 1963 - exactly 60 years ago. At the time, Bob was around 30 years old. His popularity is also demonstrated by the five BRAVO Ottos that Bob received from BRAVO readers between 1963 and 1967.
