‘Gone but Not Forgotten’ 2022: Farewell to some TV legends
BY JAY BOBBIN
As always, the end of a calendar year is a time to reflect on familiar entertainers who left us during the preceding 12 months. Here’s a remembrance of some television staples. Angela Lansbury: After legendary successes on Broadway and the movie screen, this icon made a permanent impact on the TV landscape as “Murder, She Wrote’s” Jessica Fletcher. Bob Saget: “Full House’s” beloved Danny Tanner had another major TV role as the narrator of “How I Met Your Mother.” Kirstie Alley: “Cheers” and “Veronica’s Closet” were a couple of memorable television stops for this distinctively earthy two-time Primetime Emmy winner. James Caan: Following many successful films, this rugged actor came to series TV in “Las Vegas” and “Back in the Game.” Ray Liotta: Though principally a movie actor, Liotta brought his trademark intensity to the police series “Shades of Blue” and earned a Primetime Emmy for an “ER” guest role. Sidney Poitier: This esteemed Oscar winner brought his talent to TV in a number of projects including a sequel to “To Sir, With Love” (directed by Peter Bogdanovich, who died on the same day).
Nichelle Nichols: This “Star Trek” essential’s portrayal of Lt. Uhura was iconic in multiple ways ... and the series and movies will continue to make it so. Leslie Jordan: This much-loved sitcom veteran was costarring in Fox’s “Call Me Kat” at the time of his passing. Bob McGrath: This very friendly face often was musical while gently teaching lessons to the first couple of generations of “Sesame Street” viewers. Tony Dow: “Gee, Beav.” The show was called “Leave It to Beaver,” but big brother Wally Cleaver also was a crucial part of it. John Aniston: Jennifer’s father, who had a very long run as Victor Kiriakis on “Days of Our Lives,” received a Lifetime Achievement honor at last summer’s Daytime Emmy Awards. Clarence Gilyard Jr.: The co-star of “Walker, Texas Ranger” and “Matlock” also had significant movie roles in “Top Gun” and “Die Hard.” Vin Scully: One of sportscasting’s most recognizable faces and voices was as much a part of baseball’s Los Angeles Dodgers as any player. Anne Heche: This Daytime Emmy winner had recent roles on “Chicago P.D.” and “All Rise.” Louie Anderson: In a variety of projects, this Primetime Emmy-winning comedian made his mark.
Dwayne Hickman: “Dobie Gillis” was a popular romantic-comedy hero in the hands of this actor who became a network executive later. Howard Hesseman: An actual disc jockey earlier in his career, the actor drew on that experience to portray “WKRP in Cincinnati’s” Dr. Johnny Fever. Larry Storch: Known for doing many comedic roles over the years, the actor’s Corporal Agarn on “F Troop” was his signature part. Joe E. Tata and Denise Dowse: Two of “Beverly Hills, 90210’s” resident adults gave the show’s central younger characters some valuable life lessons. Liz Sheridan and Estelle Harris: The actresses who played Jerry and George’s mothers were invaluable to “Seinfeld.” Roger E. Mosley: Whenever the original “Magnum, P.I.” needed a helicopter ride, pilot T.C. was a handy pal to have. David Birney: This accomplished actor married his “wife” on the sitcom “Bridget Loves Bernie,” Meredith Baxter (though they later divorced). Robert Morse: This Tony and Primetime Emmy-winning Broadway veteran imbued “Mad Men’s” Bert Cooper with his unique spirit.
