My dad was more of a fan of his than I was. I keep confusing him with the guy who was on V. (Edit, I confuse him with Richard Herd)
I can't remember a time when there were so many celebrity deaths in such a short span.

I have to admit, this was one I thought had already passed on.

Thank you! I'm glad I wasn't the only one who confused the two.

I also admit that I was kinda surprised that he was still alive.

Born to a Czech mother and a Serbian father in Chicago, on March 22, 1912, Karl Malden didn't learn how to communicate a single word of English until he was in kindergarten. Raised in Gary, IN, a medium-sized steel town, Malden--like many other young men in Gary--got a job in a steel factory when he finished school.
Michael Jackson (and me too) are also Garyites.
suddenly, I don't feel too well

Cooper on that episode, and I was scared for weeks afterward that I would be randomly blown up (watching the show alone in the dark at age 11 didn't help).

They certainly had Newman/Woodward beat, as far as longevity.
