Fantasy Island Trivia

Michelle Pfeiffer made her 2nd ever on screen appearance on the episode "Elizabeth's Baby/The Artist and the Lady" which aired on January 17, 1981. It was her first "speaking" part. She had only one line and played the role of "Deborah Dare".

Hervé Villechaize was nominated for a Golden Globe Award in 1982 for Best Supporting Actor in a TV Show, Miniseries or Motion Picture Made for TV.

The Fantasy Island plane (dee plane, dee plane) was owned by author Richard D. Bach (author of, "Jonathan Livingston's Seagull") before the series began and was put up for auction after the show ended. It should be quite the collector's item as it had been signed by all of the show's guest stars which included quite a number of the television stars of that time.

Ricardo Montalban hurt his back in 1951 while filming "Across the Wide Missouri". He had to have an operation on his spine that took over nine hours to complete! He had credited roles in more than 80 movies (including TV movies) and has guest-starred on more than 50 TV shows! He also appeared on the series, "The Colbys (1985)". Also, he was Loretta Young's brother-in-law. Loretta had starred on her own TV show, aptly titled, "The Loretta Young Show (1953)" and it aired for 8 seasons!

The show was filmed in Burbank, California and Kauai, Hawaii.

Aaron Spelling produced this TV show and so many other ones that only a very few of his best known can be listed here. Here they are:
"Johnny Ringo (1959)", "Daniel Boone (1964)", "The Addams Family (1964)", "The Rookies (1972)", "Starsky and Hutch (1975)", "Charlie's Angels (1976)", "The Love Boat (1977)", "Fantasy Island (1978)", "Hart to Hart (1979)", "Dynasty (1981)", "T.J. Hooker (1982)", "Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990)", "Melrose Place (1992)", "7th Heaven (1996)", "Charmed (1998)".

Hervé Villechaize committed suicide in 1993 at age 50 by shooting himself.

The producers considered doing one episode in "3-D" but unfortunately, they decided against the idea.
