Emmy-winning director Bruce Bilson, the grandfather of actress Rachel Bilson, died Friday at the age of 97 at his Los Angeles home, according to his daughter Julie Bilson Ahlberg.
Bilson Ahlberg told The Hollywood Reporter that Bruce, who previously won an Emmy in his work on the iconic sitcom Get Smart, passed away ‘peacefully.’
Bruce won the Emmy in 1968 for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Comedy for his work on the Get Smart episode Maxwell Smart, Private Eye. Bruce had been in the director’s chair for more than 400 TV episodes, having racked up credits on a number of iconic shows of the era.

Gordon Ramsay is ditching the kitchen for a seat behind the camera as he executive produces his first scripted television series in development at Fox Entertainment.
Rachel Bilson will star in a cooking school drama based on the book “The Sharper Your Knife, the Less You Cry” by Kathleen Flinn. Stephanie Danler, who is writing an original female-driven series for Apple TV and A24, will adapt the book for the small screen. Ramsay will produce the scripted series with his production company Studio Ramsay with partners Lisa Edwards, Olivia Allen and Flinn.
On Broad Ideas, Rachel Bilson is joined by long-time best friend Olivia Allen to talk about sex, mental health, their belief (or lack of) in ghosts, and so much more. They’ll be joined by old friends, young friends, and some friends they haven’t met yet to have fun, casual conversations about the same kind of broad topics you’d find yourself discussing with your girlfriends.
The popular podcast Welcome to the O.C. Bitches continues into season 2. The podcast marked a huge reunion for Adam Brody and Rachel Bilson, who made up one of the series’ fan-favorite couples – Summer and Seth.
As they touched on a possible reboot, Adam Brody says bringing back the show wouldn’t be a good idea. “I kind of don’t think it can be done because socially we’re in a different place and we’re in a more conscious place,” Brody said Tuesday on the podcast “Welcome to the OC, Bitches,” hosted by his former co-stars Rachel Bilson and Melinda Clarke. “While ‘The O.C.’ claims to be — in a similar sense as a ‘Gossip Girl’ — while it would sort of say it’s a critique, it’s not. It’s a celebration — it’s a celebration of affluence in my opinion.”
