I loved Streets of San Francisco when I was a kid. I thought it was cool when they would pull that flashing cherry out from under the seat or where ever and go into pusuit mode.

I remember when I moved there - one of the first things I saw was the sign for Big Al's strip club at the corner of Columbus & Broadway, as seen in the opening of...

RIP. He was 97...certainly one of the most recognizable actors on stage and screen.

 

Out of his era, I can only think of one character actor who is still alive, and that's Ernest Borgnine.

Didn't know Michael's dad was still alive, thanks. :devil:

 

Did you know Kirk never won an Oscar for his acting work? He did get a special honorary one in 1996.

Great character actor, for sure.

 

But what a marvelous job he did in one of the all-time great flicks, "Marty". That movie struck a chord, then and now.

 

Nice job in tv's "McHales Navy", too. I though Joe Flynn's "Captain Binghamton" portrayal was the best among the cast.

Yes but, at 88, Mickey Rooney is a still a 'spring chicken', relative to the rest of 'em. :unsure:

 

Also, I think you meant Harry Morgan (Col. Potter/Bill Gannon), age 94, - Frank Morgan (The Wizard) died in 1949.

 

I was reading in the news the other day that Mitch Miller turns 98 on Saturday. Art Linkletter is 96, youngster Jack Lalanne is 94.

I always remember him as Herb Brooks. I must've watched Miracle on Ice a dozen times when I was growing up. It was on Ch 29 all the time back in the day.
