Darren McGavin, Don Knotts RIP
Actor Darren McGavin, best known for his role as Ralphie Parker's dad ("The Old Man") in the classic A Christmas Story, died Saturday, aged 83.
Don Knotts, the great Deputy Barney Fife, and the Incredible Mr. Limpet, died on Friday at 81.
Both men worked steadily throughout their careers and avoided having their personal lives become the staple of entertainment gossip. Two more examples of classic television and old Hollywood are gone. RIP.
