The producer who created TV series “H.R. Pufnstuf” and “Land of the Lost”, has died at the age of 96, the family has announced.
“Sid Krofft was an icon who did what he loved most until the very end – being out in public with his legions of fans. Sid never slowed down, attending his final show where it all began just last November in his home state of Rhode Island. Sid was a beacon of light and will be greatly missed,” Fenton said in a statement released on Monday.
Krofft’s brother, Marty, died in 2023 at the age of 86. Both Krofft brothers were credited with creating the hit TV series “H.R. Pufnstuf”.
Krofft died at his home in Los Angeles, California, last Friday.
