Author Topic: Tony Randall passes Peter Kerchinsky Master Film Handler Posts: 326 From: Seattle, WA, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 05-18-2004 01:29 PM                     Tony Randall has died in New York at 84. My favorite Randall film was 7 Faces of Dr. Loa. Just saw it recently on TCM and it's still one of my favorites. Met him several years ago while working in radio in Oregon. He was campaigning for George McGovern during the primary. Quite a character. He answered alot of my questions by quoting Shakespeare. which made for a very interesting interview. Will miss FU. pete  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 05-18-2004 01:39 PM                        Mr. Randall certainly will be missed! http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0709704/  |  IP: Logged Bruce McGee Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1776 From: Asheville, NC USA... Nowhere in Particular. Registered: Aug 1999 posted 05-18-2004 06:55 PM                     I always liked his roles in those Doris Day comedies of the 1960's. I really liked The Odd Couple in the late 60's-early 70's. I didn't realize that he was 84. He seemed younger to me.  |  IP: Logged Mark Lensenmayer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1605 From: Upper Arlington, OH Registered: Sep 1999 posted 05-18-2004 07:23 PM                     Good-bye, Dr. Lao.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 05-18-2004 09:53 PM                  I really liked him in the Doris Day/Rock Hudson films... a riot and treasures!
