2010 isn't done killing celebrities yet

Steve Landesberg dies at 65

Quote :

Steve Landesberg may have been best known for his role as the intellectual and sometimes annoying Detective Sgt. Arthur Dietrich on the long-running 1970s cop comedy "Barney Miller."

But younger audiences knew him too — for a slew of recent parts such as the doctor on the 2008 hit movie "Forgetting Sarah Marshall."

The veteran actor died Monday at age 65, his agent, Jeffrey Leavitt, told The Associated Press. The cause of death wasn't released.

Damn.

I am a bad person for laughing at Eileen's headline.

I quite enjoyed Dietrich. Besides that role, I'll also remember him as Stan's therapist on The Golden Girls during their hurricane crossover event.
I'm being to suspect Betty White may have made a deal and now that her Golden Girl costars are dead, it's spreading to guest stars. Somebody check on Mario Lopez.

^ Betty White, meanwhile, will live forever.

I'm ashamed to admit that when I first heard the news, my thought was something along the lines of, "Abe Vigoda might just win the Barney Miller tontine,* after all."






*Every television show has one, though sometimes child actors are excluded.
