What is about this time of year? It always seems to pressage sad passings (ie.RRB). Speaking of which ...
Charles Durning: Nothing to say, other than one of the finest actors I ever watched. Oh, too many are his appearances to recall, but you might look out for him as the hopelessly harassed cop attempting to harness heister Al Pacino in Sidney Lumet's 'Dog Day Afternoon', or in Robert Aldrich's 'Twilight's Last Gleaming' as an equally hijacked White House incumbent (Burt Lancaster, his effective captor) , the patsy detective cop in 'The Sting' and so many other movie and tv credits that I wouldn't even know where to begin. Suffice it to say that he was a bear of on actor and, it's suggested, a bear of a men. But all that aside, his innate acting ability was sublimely infused with rich measures of comedic timing and presence, not to to say sheer charisma.
I know, should there be such a place, my dad will have a drink waiting for him at the Pearly Gates Green Room.
