The news about Mel Stewart got me wondering about my favorite recurring
character ever in sitcoms, Beverly LaSalle, the female impersonator on All In
The Family. The character was on several episodes and the credits list Lori
Shannon as playing the part. The episode where the character is killed off in a
hate crime is one of the saddest shows I have ever seen. I believe the actor's
real name was Don MacLean. IMDB only lists the All In The Family shows plus a
1996 Hong Kong horror movie for credits. (I Believe the movie credit is an
error). Does anyone know if he is still alive? I thought I had read a while
back that he died of AIDS in SF in the 1980s but I can't find the information
anywhere.

Thanks,

ED VARNER
