The Katie-Bar-The-Door Awards (1967)

Strother Martin may be the first winner of a Katie-Bar-The-Door Award to also appear as a guest star on the television show Lost in Space (on that show's first episode broadcast in color, no less).

You may better remember him for this iconic scene from Cool Hand Luke.



Postscript: Actually, I did a bit of research and it turns out that Mercedes McCambridge, who not only won the Katie Award for best supporting actress of 1949 for All the King's Men, but the Oscar as well, was in an episode of Lost in Space several months before Strother Martin. Jeepers!

By the way, there's another Lost in Space alumnus on the list of Katie (and Oscar) nominees in 1967—Michael J. Pollard, who provided memorable support in Bonnie and Clyde.

And you thought Lost in Space was just another load of television crap! Au contraire, Will Robinson!
