Bobby Sherman Dies: Teen Idol Singer & ‘Here Comes The Brides’ Actor Was 81


Bobby Sherman, a hitmaking teen-idol singer of the late 1960 and '70s and actor who starred in ABC comedy 'Here Come the Brides,' died June 24 of cancer at 81.

Bridget Hanley played Candy Pruitt, a “straw boss” who led a group of 100 potential brides who were brought from Massachusetts to the Pacific Northwest in a scheme to save the business. Sherman also did guest shots on such popular TV shows as Mod Squad, Ellery Queen, Fantasy ISland, The Love Boat, Frasier and Murder, She Wrote and was a series regular on the short-lived 1986 USA Network sitcom Sanchez of Bel Air. Inspired by his stint on the popular 1970s first-responders drama Emergency!, Sherman also worked as a paramedic, deputy sheriff and medical training officer for the Los Angeles Police Department later in life.
