BILL BIXBY – PROSTATE CANCER

Bill Bixby had a longstanding career spanning 30 years. He wasn’t just a big-time actor, but he was also a well-known panelist in TV game shows. In 1959, there were two executives that noticed him and hired him for modeling and commercial work. He also auditioned for theater roles and made his professional stage debut in The Boy Friend musical. Bixby continued to appear in famous TV sitcoms and guest appearances.

Bixby had a steady career until he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. The first wave of treatments he underwent was very successful, and he was able to beat the disease. Unfortunately, his cancer came back and eventually took his life in 1993. The My Favorite Martian star was only 59 years old at the time of his passing. It remains uncertain if Bixby was able to arrange a family life insurance plan with his wife, Judith Kliban, whom he married just a couple of weeks before his death.
