Goddard's death was reportedly caused by complications from pulmonary fibrosis.
"Before I went into it I didn't particularly want to do it," Goddard later told Pop Entertainment."I thought, that's science fiction — I wanted to be Paul Newman not Buck Rogers! And then the pilot sold, and I was not happy... I looked like a baked potato in the oven. But it all worked out great. We had a wonderful cast of people."
