Sid Krofft, the oldest of the famous Krofft Brothers, a team that revolutionized children’s television in the 1960s and 70s, has died. His friend and business associate, Kelly Killian, told the Hollywood Reporter that he passed away on Friday at the age of 96.
Growing up in Montreal, my brother Marty and I started out as puppeteers back in the ’40s and ’50s. It was a real passion of ours! That eventually led to a fantastic opportunity – we got hired by Hanna-Barbera to help create the characters and sets for The Banana Splits. That show, with Fleegle, Snorky, Bingo, and Drooper, was totally psychedelic and a lot of fun. It was our first big break into television, and it opened doors for us to keep experimenting and come up with all sorts of new ideas for the format.
Sid Krofft Dies at 96
I absolutely adored Sid. He was such a teacher, imparting wisdom about filmmaking, the thrill of theatre, and just… people. It’s funny, I didn’t even know his work, just him. And he was truly extraordinary. I really wish I’d had more time to know him. I’ll always remember his bright blue eyes, that infectious smile with his dimples, and this incredible warmth he carried with him everywhere. I’m going to miss him terribly.
