Wednesday Afternoon

Posting here's been light because (a) my cable modem keeps cutting in and out and (b) my brain seems to be hard-wired to the cable modem. Things will normalize soon.

Hamilton Camp Remembered

The L.A. Times obit [reg. req.] for Hamilton Camp is up. It says the cause of death is still to be determined but that he fell on Sunday. I was told it was a heart attack but perhaps that is not so.

Whatever it was, it robbed us of a very talented man. A lot of you have written me to recall your favorite Hamilton Camp TV role — like the short guy who tried to date Mary Richards on The Mary Tyler Moore Show or the stereo store owner who got robbed on WKRP in Cincinnati. Hamilton played an amazing number of memorable roles on popular shows.
