Actor Gene Barry died. He was 90.

Two successful TV series, "Bat Masterson" and "Burke's Law" and a career that included 50's sci-fi (War Of The Worlds-1953) and a Broadway musical (La Cage Aux Folles" for which he received a Tony nomination. Always debonair, but with a wink and a smile.

RIP

8. Barry had done musicals before he went to Hollywood.

He appeared in many Broadway musicals in the 1940's, something I didn't know about him.

War of the Worlds is the first movie that scared the bejesus out of me and that was while watching it on TV.
