  George Segal Dies: Oscar-Nominated Actor & ‘The Goldbergs’ Star Was 87 George Segal, the Oscar-nominated actor whose credits range from Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and Where’s Poppa? to Just Shoot Me! and The Goldbergs, died today in Santa Rosa, CA, of complications from bypass surgery. He was 87. His wife, Sonia Segal confirmed the news. “The family is devastated to announce that this morning George Segal passed away due to complications from bypass surgery,” she said in a statement. For the past eight years, Segal had been a series regular on ABC’s 1980s-set family comedy The Goldbergs. The last episode he filmed before his death, Episode 16 of the show’s current eighth season, is set to air April 7. The series is expected to pay tribute to Segal on-air. Segal, an Oscar nominee for Mike Nichols’ 1966 Edward Albee adaptation Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, probably is best known for his TV sitcom roles as magazine publisher Jack Gallo on NBC’s Just Shoot Me!, a role that earned him two Golden Globe nominations, and as family patriarch Albert “Pops” Solomon on The Goldbergs. He also headlined the late-’80s ABC detective drama Murphy’s Law, the 1987 CBS comedy Take Five and TV Land sitcom Retired at 35. Segal also was a leading man in movies, starring in films by such legends as Sidney Lumet (Bye Bye Braverman, 1968), Carl Reiner (Where’s Poppa?, 1970), Herbert Ross (The Owl and the Pussycat, 1970), Paul Mazursky (Blume in Love, 1973) and Robert Altman (California Split, 1974). He also has starring roles in such features as A Touch of Class, The Terminal Man, The Black Bird, Fun with Dick and Jane, Who Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe?, Time of Darkness and For the Boys. Along with his Academy Award nomination, Segal was a five-time Golden Globe nominee and has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. |

From: www.yahoo.com/entertainment/richard-gilliland-designing-women-24-184706064.htmlRichard Gilliland, the veteran character actor whose credits included Designing Women, 24, Desperate Housewives, and many other TV shows and films, has died at 71. Gilliland died March 18 in Los Angeles after a brief illness, according to a statement from his family. He was married to his Designing Women costar Jean Smart, who he met while working on the CBS sitcom and wed in 1987. Gilliland had a recurring role on the series as J.D. Shackleford, the on-again, off-again love interest of Annie Potts' Mary Jo. "I met him when he was kissing someone else," Smart quipped to EW in 2017. The couple also worked together on 24, with Gilliland as Captain Stan Cotter and Smart as First Lady Martha Logan, and in the TV movies Just My Imagination and Audrey's Rain. They were slated to perform together again this summer in a film directed by Tate Taylor. Born Jan. 23, 1950, in Fort Worth, Texas, Gilliland attended Chicago's prestigious Goodman School of Drama before moving to Los Angeles. He worked steadily from the 1970s through the 2010s, frequently appearing in guest roles on TV, in everything from The Love Boat to St. Elsewhere to Dexter. He also worked frequently on stage, appearing in productions of Cops, Beyond Therapy, I Remember You, Little Egypt and Amadeus (as Salieri). Of transitioning from theater to sitcom work, Gilliland said in a 2012 interview, "There was a conflict in the sense that I considered myself a very serious actor. I approached the sitcom realm the same way I would've approached a play… I remember a network executive once saying to me, 'This isn't real. It's television.' Because he thought I was taking it too seriously, and he had a good point." In addition to Smart, Gilliland is survived by his children Connor and Bonnie, his sisters Ann Norberg and Wendy Knaack, and his brother John Wells. ---------- R.I.P! Todd C WTIC |
