The
Bloop
Debbie the bloop died in the late 90s
at the
age
of 87 (chimp years). She was admitted to the Marin County old chimp's
home in the late 80s after suffering a stroke while filming a car commercial
for a local Ford dealership in Van Nuys. Contrary to common belief,
no "head piece" was used, Debbie had a rare condition known
as Cranius Bloopus, in which large bat-like ears and an oversized skull
develop at 6 months. This was of course perfect for her character on
Lost In Space.
She suffered no ill effects other than looking strange.
