^The full article is there where Bob Crane's son goes into all this detail about his dad as he promotes this website in which he profits from allowing viewers to see Bob Cranes old sex tapes. He then mentions the following
"That Bob Crane was a porno fiend fond of filming his exploits is no grand revelation. It was widely known throughout Hollywood that Crane frequented strip clubs, which he treated like a sexual smorgasbord for his doing-and-viewing pleasure. Scotty even recalls the time Bob allowed a reporter and photographer from one L.A. newspaper to accompany him on one such nudie-bar jaunt, which resulted in his being fired by Disney. And, Scotty recalls, Hollywood neighbors such as Carroll O'Connor and John and Patty Duke Astin were often escorted down to Crane's basement darkroom and allowed to gaze upon Bob's collection of his very public privates."

• I have never heard this rumor about Caroll O'Connor or Patty Duke Astin viewing Bob Crane's sex tapes. Does anyone know if there is any truth at all to this. I am skeptical for a lot of reasons. One being he was only 7 years old when his dad died, but it is possible someone (his mom for example) told him that Caroll and Patty did go to witness the tapes. He also did mention how open and Bob was about all the sex photos around the house and made no real attempts to hide it. But looking around this is all that I can find on Caroll or Patty ever going down into Bob's basement viewing everything and considering the source it is pretty much 50/50 has anyone ever heard this before or believe it at all?
