In far too many instances during The Lucy Show and Here's Lucy, the scripts would require a need for someone in an animal costume. The man inside those bear (and gorilla) suits next to Lucy was Hungarian born actor Janos Prohaska (1919-1974). Not only did he step into these animal suits, he also created them. His 'animals' and 'monsters' can be seen on TV shows throughout the 60's and early 70's including Star Trek, Gilligan's Island, The Outer Limits, and Lost In Space. Janos was killed along with his son in a plane crash while traveling to a filming location for the ABC television series 'Primal Man'. #lucilleball #lucycarmichael #lucycarter #blackbear #thelucyshow #hereslucy #animalcostume #manbehindthemask #gorillacostume #bearcostume #waynelvslcy #costumes #gilligansisland #lostinspace #startrek #outerlimits https://www.instagram.com/p/CkWQczIPKG2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It's National Black Bear Day! (June 6) Lucy often worked with real animals including a real black bear on an episode of The Lucy Show. In far too many instances during The Lucy Show and Here's Lucy, the scripts would require a need for someone in an animal costume.
