Art Carney-- RIP



Art Carney, best known as Ralph Cramden's neighbor on The Honeymooners, died yesterday. Although he was terribly (and unfairly) typecast, Carney was actually an exxtremly versatile actor who could get a laugh just by being there. I think his biggest feat was winning the oscar for Harry and Tonto in 1974. No one expected that win, up against Nicholson in Chinatown, Pacino in Godfather II, Dustin Hoffman as Lenny, and Albert Finney in Murder on the Orient Express, but did. He will be missed by fans of old time comedy--like me.
