RIP, Harry Morgan, actor, 96

[blue2blue]

Starting with movies like The Ox-Bow Incident, Wing and a Prayer, The Big Clock, and High Noon in the 1940's and through the television era in shows like December Bride, Pete and Gladys, Dragnet, and M.A.S.H., Harry Morgan brought everything from quiet dignity to goofy charm to a wide variety of dramatic and comedic roles.

Hey Joe, I'm pretty sure she's flippin' on lulu flakes. Her eyes are as big as Mildred's tea saucers. Farout. Waayyy far out. Book her?

I still remember watching the final episode of MASH while I was in the military. Great man, great actor.

He was a great foil for Jack Webb as Friday, stepping into the Ben Alexander role, making talk so small it clearly drove the dour sergeant a big nutty.

 

 

I spent my lunch hour watching Support Your Local Gunfighter, which has Harry playing one of his familiar late career types, a blustering frontier mine owner. It's a nice little movie with an army of familiar character actors in all the speaking roles.
