Auto Focus

Bob Crane's life as a TV star is explored, with a focus on his peculiar bond with John Henry Carpenter, an electronics expert.

Bob Crane, a successful radio DJ and aspiring movie star, took the title role in the TV sitcom Hogan's Heroes in 1965, despite initial reluctance. The show's success propelled him to stardom, but his fame led to excesses, including a friendship with John Carpenter, who shared his interests in sex and capturing nude women. Crane's sex addiction, known to his second wife Sigrid Valdis, contrasted with his wholesome TV image, ultimately contributing to his professional and personal downfall.
