9. The Skipper Broke His Arm and Didn’t Get It Fixed for Weeks
Alan Hale, who played the Skipper, was one tough guy with a strong work ethic. During a scene towards the end of season one, he fell out of a coconut tree but missed the crash pad, breaking his arm. Not wanting to disrupt the shooting schedule, he kept this snafu to himself and soldiered on for three weeks. At the wrap party, Hale mentioned to Sherwood Schwartz that he was going to take care of his arm now. Schwartz, who knew nothing of the mishap, couldn’t believe it, saying “How did you manage to haul coconuts and lift Bob Denver with a broken arm?” “It wasn’t easy,” Hale admitted.
