Excerpt:
“Robert Guy Barrows, a former UCLA instructor of playwriting and theater arts who wrote for television in the 1960s and ’70s and was repeatedly arrested on obscenity charges while producing Beat poet Michael McClure’s play “The Beard” in Los Angeles in 1968, died Jan. 31 in Pueblo, Colo. He was 81.
Barrows died of complications from surgery for intestinal cancer, the Writers Guild of America announced.
He wrote episodes for the TV series “Mission: Impossible,” “The Virginian,” “Daniel Boone&” and “The Fugitive,” among others, from 1964 to 1971.”
