A top notch actor. Let's not overlook one of his best roles, as the lead in 60s sitcom "My World, and Welcome To It," based on the writings of James Thurber. Windom played a cartoonist, misunderstood by everyone, particularly his wife and precocious daughter. The cartoons he drew would come to life in what was one of the most clever sitcoms ever filmed.

R.I.P. indeed, big man. Too young to die.

Loved him in The Green Mile.

Only just heard about this - was watching The Green Mile the other day and commented on how lucky they were to find such a fine actor who matched the part physically.

another one from my childhood


Andy Williams, whose soothing baritone and relaxed performing style made him one of America's top pop vocalists and a popular TV variety-show host in the 1960s when he recorded hits such as "Moon River" and "Days of Wine and Roses," has died. He was 84.

Williams, who announced in late 2011 that he had been diagnosed with bladder cancer, died Tuesday at his home in Branson, Mo., his family announced.

Confirmed. I came online to post it.

Quote:

Herbert Lom, the Czech-born actor best known as Inspector Clouseau’s long-suffering boss in the Pink Panther movies, died Thursday, his son said.

He was 95.

Alec Lom said his father died peacefully in his sleep.

Herbert Lom had a handsomely lugubrious look that was suited to comedy, horror and everything in between. It served him well over a six-decade career in which roles ranged from Napoleon Bonaparte — whom he played twice — to the Phantom of the Opera.

The London-based star appeared in more than 100 films, including Spartacus and El Cid, and acted alongside film greats including Charlton Heston and Kirk Douglas.

Born Herbert Karel Angelo Kuchacevic ze Schluderpacheru in Prague in 1917, Lom came to Britain at the start of World War II and began his career as a radio announcer with the BBC’s overseas service.

His first major movie role was as Napoleon in 1942′s The Young Mr. Pitt. The career that followed saw him cast often as a villain. In The Ladykillers, one of the best-loved British films of the 1950s, Lom played a member of a ruthless crime gang fatally outsmarted by a mild-mannered old lady.

Horror roles included the title character in Hammer Studios’ The Phantom of the Opera in 1962, and Van Helsing in 1970′s Count Dracula, opposite Christopher Lee.

Former Democratic presidential candidate George McGovern.


Quote:

George McGovern – whose unsuccessful 1972 campaign against Richard Nixon is remembered for having helped spark the Watergate office break-in of the Democratic National Committee headquarters that was eventually traced back to the Nixon White House – died early Sunday morning, said a family spokesman.

He was 90.

McGovern was hospitalized last Dec. 2 in Sioux City, S.D., after he fell and injured his head on the sidewalk outside the Dakota Wesleyan University's McGovern Library. Though he was later released, he had been in failing health throughout 2012, and on Oct. 8 he entered hospice care in Sioux Falls "with a combination of medical conditions, due to age, that have worsened over recent months," said a statement from his family.
