Part 3/12:
Jim Bakus: The Eccentric Millionaire Howell H. Howell III
Jim Bakus brilliantly portrayed the affluent and aristocratic millionaire, Howell H. Howell III. Known for his lavish lifestyle and unwavering belief in the superiority of the upper class, Howell often found himself out of his depth while stranded on the island, struggling with primitive conditions. Despite hardships, he clung to his extravagant habits, frequently wearing a suit and tie, attempting to maintain a semblance of luxury amidst island chaos. His interactions with his wife, Lovey, added humor and depth—combining affection with a touch of condescension.
