The Ultimate Embarrassent

[AFTT47]

I read a book by Sherwood Schwartz (creator of Gilligan's Island) where he claimed that David Carradine (Kung Fu) walked into Alan Hale's (Skipper) restaurant in the 1970s or 80s in an inebriated state and created a fracas. Supposedly, Hale emerged, grabbed Carradine out of the air and unceremoniously dumped into the street like a sack of potatos. It fits with actor Bob Denver's (Gilligan) description of Hale as having unbelievable strength, able to grasp him out of the air and hold him as if he were a child.
