Star of "Danger Man" (better know as "Secret Agent" in the US), Patrick McGoohan has died at age 80. He had a long and varied career including creating and staring in "The Prisoner" about a former spy who is held prisoner in a mysterious colony. The show was spoofed on "The Simpsons" with McGoohan providing the voice of his character. He was one of my favorites. I'll miss him.

Just as I finished typing this, I saw a report that Ricardo Montalban has also died, but there aren't any details as yet. He was 88. He also had a long and varied career. What a great loss to the entertainment business.

One degree of separation for both: I shared a traffic school class 30 years ago with McGoohan (see my blog) and met Anita, the daughter Sr. Montalban, 40 years ago...

So mr. roarke and tatoo are finally reunited again. I wonder if they'll be put to work now greeting people at the pearly gates. No, I'm not making light of his passing. My condolences to his family. But I really don't think he'd want anyone to be sad about it. From what I've read, the man was in almost constant pain for years. It's most likely a welcome relief from it now. May he rest peacefully. He's earned it.
