Registered: Aug 1999 posted 01-19-2003 04:22 AM                     This was on CNN this morning. He died from complications with cancer. He was 76. I remember him on "Our Miss Brooks," and "The Real McCoys." He was also a capable director of many TV show episodes.

I always thought that was one of his best performances too. Mark  |  IP: Logged Robert E.

I think the last thing he did was a made for TV flick called "By Dawn's Early Light" with David Caradine. That was a year or two ago. He'll be missed.  |  IP: Logged Bruce McGee Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1776 From: Asheville, NC USA... Nowhere in Particular.

He would go to auditions and they would not even consider him because they still thought of him as a 'simpering boy.' I'm glad that he got work as Luke on The Real McCoys. He did a good job on that series right up to the end when he, grandpa, and Pepino were the only originals left in the cast! Slattery's People (1964?) was a good series too.  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 01-20-2003 11:49 AM                     Let's not forget him in "Wait Until Dark" and "Body Heat".  |  IP: Logged
