Harvey Martin had a good excuse for not being available, considering he had died on Christmas Eve 2001.

It's interesting that for a game that's 50 years old, Harvey Martin is the only deceased Super Bowl MVP.

Over that same period of time four of the World Series MVPs have died (Donn Clendenon, Roberto Clemente, Willie
Stargell and Darrell Porter) and three NBA Finals MVPs have died (Wilt Chamberlain, Dennis Johnson and Moses Malone)
but all Stanley Cup MVPs are still alive.

This being the late 1960's, Roy Thinnes would have showed up and taken care of them.
