Moderators are such fools. YHBT!!!
LOS ANGELES - Robert Stack, whose granite-eyed stare and menacing baritone spelled trouble for television's fictional criminals in "The Untouchables" and real ones in "Unsolved Mysteries," died at his home. He was 84.
... And if you ever become a thing called a celebrity -- a word I hate -- if you ever do, and you use that power to push people around, I'm gonna kick you right in the (expletive).' "
Stack's wife Rosemarie found him slumped over at about 5 p.m. Wednesday. He died of heart failure, she said. The actor had undergone radiation treatment for prostate cancer (news - web sites) in October.
"He was feeling so good," she said Thursday. "He had a bout with a tumor but that was gone. It wasn't that, it was his heart. He was too weak. He wouldn't have lived through a bypass."
Although he had a lengthy film career beginning in 1939 with "First Love," Stack's greatest fame came with the 1959-63 TV drama "The Untouchables," in which he played Chicago crimebuster Eliot Ness and won a best actor Emmy.
That role, coupled with his job as host of the reality series "Unsolved Mysteries," created an enduring good-guy image.
"I think there's a definite carry-over from Eliot Ness," Stack said in a 1998 interview with The Associated Press. "Somebody once said, 'You really think you're Eliot Ness.' No, I don't think I'm Ness, but I sure as hell know I'm not Al Capone.'"
If Stack tended to appear stiffly humorless on screen, in conversation he was relaxed and jovial, with deep Hollywood roots that gave him a wealth of star-studded anecdotes.
He recalled playing polo with mentor Spencer Tracy (news) and receiving advice from Clark Gable (news).
"He brought a bottle of 21-year-old Scotch and put it between us," Stack told the AP. "'There's a rumor going around that you're gonna try to be an actor.'
"I thought I'd give it a shot," Stack said he replied.
"Clark said, 'You're gonna be one thing: A pro. Show up on time, know your lines.
Stack was born into a performing arts family in Los Angeles. His great-great-grandfather opened one of the city's first theaters, and his grandparents, uncle and mother were opera singers.
His father, however, "was the only Irishman in County Kerry who couldn't sing, and that's whose singing voice I got," Stack said in 1998.
But the young man had a resonant speaking voice and rugged good looks, enough to catch the eye of producer Joe Pasternak when Stack ventured onto the Universal lot at age 20.
"He said 'How'd you like to be in pictures? We'll make a test with Helen Parrish, a little love scene.' Helen Parrish was a beautiful girl. 'Gee, that sounds keen,' I told him. I got the part," Stack recalled.
He gave popular young actress Deanna Durbin (news) her much-publicized first screen kiss in "First Love," and played a series of youthful romantic leads before leaving Hollywood to serve with the Navy as an aerial gunnery instructor in World War II.
His postwar career climbed in the 1950s with meatier roles and better projects, including "The High and the Mighty" starring John Wayne (news) in 1954.
You speak as if you are an insider at the NYT, know everything on the subject, and can even then definitively state that you know the exact cause for all actions in this snafu. I'm sorry to say this, but no one is omnipotent, and you are jumping to conclusions that you simply cannot. If you want a good discussion about BOTH sides of the race issue in question salon has an excellent article on the subject. To say that it is just about race is reactionary and absurd as saying that the editors insist they were doing their jobs correctly- they screwed up, they admitted it. To say they should beat themselves up until they give a signed confession supporting your view of the story is immature.
Just like the typical slashdot reader!

My my my... you REALLY ARE a STUPID FUCK aren't you? I could easily say, EULA: Non-free as in totalitarian dictatorship. Sorry, but the GPL has done more for software than Microsoft will ever do. GNU has put out more powerful and useful programs than Microsoft ever has. GNU has created a whole line of software that can be used by anyone with a brain. GNU doesn't impose ridiculous restricions on the end user. The GPL is a shining achievement. A lot more than the MS EULA and it's shackles. Fuck off GlassUser!!!
The parent post is not flamebait. I guess the Microsoft professional apologist slashdot posters have made it to the moderator pool.
