I concur. A wizened patriarch, but not cranky all too often...

I alwasy liked his character “Newt” in “The Great Waldo Pepper.” He projected in his character a genuine fondness for Waldo...

The remark that provoked the response:

“Today, management has no stake in the company! All together, these men sitting up here own less than three percent of the company. And where does Mr. Cromwell put his million-dollar salary? Not in Teldar stock; he owns less than one percent. You own the company. That’s right, you, the stockholder. And you are all being royally screwed over by these, these bureaucrats, with their luncheons, their hunting and fishing trips, their corporate jets and golden parachutes.”

I wish she’d have fallen down a shaft on Star Trek too. Hated that character.

RIP to Richard Dysart.

Sheesh, I always thought he was in good shape.

He also played Eddie Goody in “Thunderbolt and Lightfoot” opposite George Kennedy and Clint Eastwood.

People today are used to seeing routinely outrageous things on tv, but folks forget at the time how shocking Diana Muldaur’s plunge down the elevator shaft was.

RIP to Mr. Dysart.

Ugh! Horrible news. What a great show L A Law was. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I hope he rests in peace. God Bless this great actor. After Paul Walker tribute this past weekend and now Richard Dysart dying, we have been been through the ringer this week. America is will survive but it has been a sad week.

It was a major pop culture moment for sure. I was aware of it despite seeing very little of that show (I suppose my mom watched it.

You were just a young ‘un and it was on at 9pm (Central), so you had to be in bed for school. ;-)
