| Angie Dickison, Ed Bernard, Earl Holliman, Charles Dierkop |
Sad news out of Hollywood: actor Charles Dierkop has died at age 87. As a 1970s kid, I remember him primarily for his role at Detective Pete Royster on Angie Dickinson's 1974-1978 cop show, Police Woman.
Mr. Dierkop's passing ends Police Woman's run as the oldest American TV show with the entire regular cast still living. As of this writing, Dierkop's co-stars Angie Dickinson (92), Earl Holliman (95), and Ed Bernard (84) are still going strong.
There was also another Hollywood passing quite recently—comic/actor Richard Lewis—but as I had a brief interaction with Mr. Lewis once in NYC, I'll save that story for next time.
Charles Dierkop (1936-2024)
There's more to come in the next dispatch.
