Actor Tony Randall Dies at 84

He will be certainly missed.

When my wife & I watched Down with Love, I commented "Wow, Tony Randall is still around & acting". I hadn't heard from him in so long that I thought he had already passed. I always enjoyed the way he made fun of his own prudish image on Letterman.

"Oscar, I have just one favor to ask of you before you go. If you return after going out and you should happen to find me .... (flails out arms towards teh floor depicting a manner of him being dead).....would you at least see that I'm given a decent burial?"
Oscar
"Felix, what is the matter with you? what kind of a thing to say is that?"
Felix
"Well have you have this habit of letting everything lay right where it falls."
===========================================
a terrible shame that will forever be missed.

Funny, I always would have thought that it would have been Jack to go first. He had been in a bad way over the last couple of years, with throat cancer I believe.

Hey! It's Tony Randell! I'm a big fan.
I always think of that line from a Mr. Short-term Memory skit Tom Hanks did on SNL. Sad news.
Wow, Tony Randell! Will you give me and autograph. Please, please, please, please...
