R.I.P: Darren McGavin, Night Stalker

["Fergie" <fergdawg () netzero net>]

Wow, first Don Knotts, now Darren McGavin. 

Man, I'm sorry to see him go, too -- I used to love 'The Night
Stalker' on T.V. back in the 70's.

Emmy-winning actor Darren McGavin, who played grouchy monster chaser Carl Kolchak in the 1970s television series 
"Kolchak: The Night Stalker," died on Saturday at a Los Angeles hospital, according to a statement on his Web site. He 
was 83.

McGavin was born in Spokane, Washington, in 1922. His career spanned seven decades, and included roles in both 
television and film. He starred in five television series, including "Mike Hammer," and won an Emmy in 1990 for a 
supporting role as Candice Bergen's father in an episode of the popular situation comedy "Murphy Brown."

But his most memorable role was as the grouchy father in the film "A Christmas Story," originally released in 1983, but 
a television staple on holidays ever since.

McGavin is survived by four children.
