Gene Barry - RIP

Gene Barry passed away on Dec. 9 in California. He was 90 years old.

Gene was an actor, featured in TV shows Bat Masterson, Burke's Law, and The Name of the Game, among others. He had many film and stage credits in the 50s, 60s, and early 70s.

The role for which he will ever be remembered (at least by me) was in the 1953 original War of the Worlds movie. I rated it as #3 on the all time greatest Sci-Fi movies in a previous post. I believe this was the only Sci-Fi movie he did, but it certainly was a memorable one.

Rest in Peace, Mr. Barry.

Just when I think you are totally consumed with political rhetoric, along comes one of those random musings. You crack me up. ;)
