A short bio from Famous Deaths...
Veteran actor best known to audiences as Eliot Ness, the crimefighter on the
popular series "The Untouchables", and the host of the long running show
"Unsolved Mysteries", who appeared in dozens of movies including dramas like
"Uncommon Valor" and comedies like "Airplane" (an all time favorite) and
"Beavis & Butthead Do America", died May 14 in Los Angeles at age 84.

Yes he did. As well as appearing with Carole Lombard in her last film, "To
Be Or Not To Be."
He is likely best known as Elliot Ness on The Untouchables.
Always liked him.

No doubt, and if the Emmys run a memoriam segment, he'll be in that also.

I get the feeling that anyone who knew Bob Stack (and his lovely wife
Rosemarie (Bowe) liked them. I heard this AM on Tom Hatten's feed on KNX
that for many years, they could be counted on to attend every charity
benefit of every kind. Nice folks.
As the wire service story noted, he was known onscreen as a humorless gent,
but in actuality he had a killer sense of humor and was a great raconteur of
'old' Hollywood stories.
RIP, Bob, you did well and did good. And not many people can claim a 60 year
+ career!

The other thing I was surprised at was his age. Robert Stack never seemed old.
He always seemed the same age since the 1960s.

Yeah. Being a showbiz buff I am saddened by the passing of favorites like
Stack even though these are not people I had the pleasure of knowing
personally. Respect for the work, I guess. But in the case of someone like
Stack, who was, as you say, a class act, it is especially sad to see him go.

He did indeed age well.
There are a handful of performers who likely won't be with us much longer,
and they are all people I will really hate to see go -- Kate Hepburn,
Gregory Peck, Charlton Heston, Bob Hope, Fay Wray, etc.

old.
On Unsolved Mysteries, he had the freshly-goosed look of a guy who's had
plastic surgery around his eyes. I never did get used to seeing him look like
that.

Yep, that's true. Although we were talking the other day about how it seems
that Bob Hope, Ronald Reagan, and Kate Hepburn already seem gone even though
they are still with us.
It's been so long since any were active or seen in public. It's sort of a "long
goodbye" but it will be just as sad when they do actually go.

It seems that way to you because you never open the National Enquirer, not even
to look at the pictures. There was a big photo spread on Katharine Hepburn not
long ago.

You're right. I don't look at crap like that.

I was under the impression that Hepburn, while choosing to longer appear
publicly, was in reasonably good health.
Also, has anyone heard an update on Charles Bronson? It was reported months
ago that he was in the last stages of Alzheimer's.

If it was in the Enquirer, there is something wrong with it somewhere.

His health is, unfortunately, quite poor from what I have read. Forget the
Death Wish throwaways he made later in his career, he was very good in Hard
Times, The Valachi Papers, etc.

Corby Gilmore
I should think so. Like Carroll O'Connor, he was primarily known for his
TV work; also like O'Connor, he had a decent movie career, and will
certainly be included.

What you guys need to do is buy one copy of each tabloid and compare them. You
will find that they're all made-up crap except for the National Enquirer, which
is a actually a celebrity picture magazine. The real crazy fictional stuff is
in the Globe, Examiner, etc. The Enquirer routinely has the scoop on famous
people weeks before the regular press. I like it for the clothes spread on the
last couple of pages. You wouldn't believe some of the outfits the "stars"
wear out in public.

Sorry, madcow, but to me that is tantamount to saying Jerry Springer is the
better example among daytime talk shows with shrill guests and shameless
exploitation.
The least bad is not necessarily good.
