Grizzly Adams, a peaceful mountain man with a luxurious beard and a bear named Ben, was portrayed by Dan Haggerty in the 1974 film “The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams” and the NBC television series of the same name. Haggerty passed away on Friday in Burbank, California.
Mr. Haggerty was working in Hollywood as a stuntman and animal handler when he received a request from a producer to perform in some opening sequences that he was reshooting for a movie about a woodsman and his bear.
