Stuart Margolin, best known for his Emmy Award-winning portrayal of Evelyn “Angel” Martin on The Rockford Files, has died. He was 82.
The actor’s passing was announced on social media earlier today by his stepson, actor Max Martini, who paid tribute to Margolin with an emotional Instagram post.

He was in Kelly’s Heroes as well. Funny character actor.
Really liked him as an actor...
Too young to go...
RIP...
Born in Davenport Iowa. My old stomping grounds.
He was booked several times into an autograph meet-n-greet event in NJ for which I purchased tickets and attended just for the chance to meet and talk to him - and get the obligatory autograph.
Both times he cancelled at the last minute so the event was kind of a bust for me.
But yeah, a big fan of his and the Rockford Files.
He was 82 for goodness sake. A stiff breeze the wrong way can take someone out at 82. Unexpected at 25? I am with ya. 82 and we no little of his lifestyle….?
Can’t we just appreciate his work and the entertainment he provided?
As he sometimes appeared on Canadian TV shows, particularly those set in the Western Provinces, I thought he might be a Canuck. He was an American but it turns out that he lived for over two decades on Salt Spring Island, BC. It makes sense now, why he appeared on some Canadian productions.
RIP Angel.
I got to meet him once. My father co-starred with Margolin in a stage production of “The Front Page” at then Memphis State University. It was, I believe, just after “The Rockford Files” went off the air. I went back stage after the play and got to speak with him for a minute. Just pleasantries, but he did take time to shake a college kid’s hand.
RIP
RIP.
Nice!
