Actor Aidan Quinn has fond memories of the dog he rescued from death in Yugoslavia in the late 1980s.
The Legends of the Fall star fell for Scamp while working on the movie Crusoe in the late 1980s and he was stunned to find the animal was about to be put down.
He tells WENN, "He was one of those scruffy mid-sized mutts. He stole every scene and then stole my heart. He was gonna be euthanised because we ended up shooting in Yugoslavia and the dog had come from England and they have a six-month quarantine and they had run out of money.
"So rather than pay the quarantine fee, they were going to euthanise Scamp, so my wife and I took him home. He was a great dog."...

NBC's newest adventure series has had a rocky journey. The network believed in the Crusoe TV show enough to give it lots of promotion but saddled it with a Friday timeslot, one of the least-watched nights of television. Did the series ever have a chance for survival?
Crusoe is based on the 1719 Robinson Crusoe novel by Daniel Defoe. The series follows the adventures of a young man, Robinson Crusoe (Philip Winchester), who leaves his wife, Susannah (Anna Walton), and children to go to the high-seas in search of riches to settle his impending debts. Crusoe ends up stranded on a remote island where he befriends a native named Friday (Tongayi Chirisa). While trying to find a way off the remote island, the two must battle the elements and intruders for survival. Crusoe also features Sam Neill, Sean Bean, Mia Maestro, Mark Dexter, Emma Barnett, Jake Curran, James Lauren, James Middlemarch,...

Premieres tonight on NBC, 8:00 p.m. ET77:00 p.m. Ct Everyone’s got a reason for being drawn to the Robinson Crusoe story in its varied iterations, whether it be for the philosophical considerations of man’s tenuous self-sufficiency, or the stories’ meticulous descriptions of how an ingenious soul survives isolation. Me, I’ve always liked the contraptions. Thanks more to the Crusoe-esque Swiss Family Robinson (and the Disney version thereof) than to Daniel Defoe’s original novel, an elaborate array of huts, booby traps and rudimentary gadgets have become a major part of a lot of Crusoe narratives; and the fantasy of living in a big treehouse stocked with improbable doo-dads still appeals to the part of me that used to turn cardboard boxes, blankets and old toys into my imaginary superhero headquarters. It’s because of that treehouse fantasy that I was initially excited by...
