My older brother has a picture of himself lying on a army hospital bed in Vietnam around 1966 with a case of malaria. Sitting on the edge of the bed is Robert Stack who was a star off camera as well as on.

How sad. He was a good actor, and a good person. Rest in peace...

Married since 1956 to the same woman? That's has to be some kind of record for an actor these days.

"[Hollywood] is all malarky." The wisdom of Robert Stack.

Rest in peace brave and noble soul.

He also died on the other thread about his death. Strange.

I thought that he was just involved in a drunk driving crash and was in serious condition.

My hero Charlton Heston and his wife Lydia have been married for 53 years (maybe even 54 by now). He still calls Lydia "my girl"--she was his first love and is the love of his life.

God bless Mr. Stack and his family. Stack and Heston represent a better time in Hollywood when most actors were patriotic Americans, and many lived honorable lives devoted to their families and communities.

Good point. He could be faking it.

Article doesn't mention the role I remember him best in, that of the Polish pilot in Lubitsch's "To Be or Not to Be," which I consider the second-funniest movie ever made (Wilder's "Some Like It Hot" being the funniest.)

A class act...I always thought the reason he was so funny in Airplane was the part was so completely out of character for him. He indeed was a talent.
