<P> In a 2011 interview with Marilyn Beck and Stacy Jenel Smith about how Bill Bixby's fame was supposed to posthumously honor him for a Star on The Hollywood Walk of Fame, Cruz said, "When I found out they were putting this out, I thought,' It's about time .' Bill Bixby had an amazing body of work, not only Courtship of Eddie's Father, but My Favorite Martian, The Magician, The Incredible Hulk and so many other things, as an actor, as a director--and he never got an Emmy . He's never been recognized posthumously by the Academy . And he doesn't have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame . That is criminal...There are people who have stars that, not to be blunt, but I wouldn't bother spitting on their stars . Bill's talent would take a couple of blocks of stars compared to them . It really demeans the whole thing that Bill is not included ." </P> <P> In 1973, Bixby starred in The Magician . The series was well liked but lasted only one season . An accomplished amateur magician himself, he hosted several TV specials in the mid-1970s which featured other amateur magicians, and was a respected member of the Hollywood magic community, belonging to The Magic Castle, an exclusive club for magicians . During the show's popular, although short - lived, production, Bixby invited a few old friends along to co-star such as Pamela Britton (in her final role), Kristina Holland and Ralph O'Hara . </P> <P> Also in 1973, he starred in Steambath, a play by author Bruce Jay Friedman, on PBS with Valerie Perrine and Jose Perez . </P> <P> Bixby became a popular game - show panelist, appearing mostly on Password and The Hollywood Squares . He was also a panelist on the 1974 revival of Masquerade Party hosted by Richard Dawson . He had also appeared with Dawson on Cop - Out . In 1974 - 1975, he directed four episodes of the eighth season of Mannix, guest - starring as Mannix's friend - turned - villain in one of the episodes . </P>
