Alex Karras
Have just learned the sad news that Alex Karras is not expected to live much longer and is home from the hospital under hospice care.
Everyone is terrific in Victor, Victoria. And that includes Alex Karras, who plays a role I don't think too many actors in the 1970s would have willingly taken on. Yet there he is . . . funny, empathetic, dealing with both King and Norma in a calm, obliging way. And ultimately delivering one of the most unexpected bits of information of all. A wonderful, wonderful performance.
Special thoughts go out to his family and friends during this very difficult time.
