Robert Stack is Dead

[Keyan Farlander]

No doubt he'll best be remembered for "The Untouchables" and "Unsolved Mysteries," but to me, he'll always be Ultra Magnus.

To me he'll always be Rex Kramer from the Airplane! movies.

 

Air Controller: Captain, maybe we oughtta turn on the search lights now.

Kramer: No. That's just what they will be expecting us to do.

I can't deal with that now!

(It's a Transformers thing.)

 

Apparently he died of heart failure after completing his chemo for prostate cancer. He was 84, served in WW2, and has been acting since the 1930s.

 

May his spark find peace within the Matrix, or wherever he goes.

Exactly, same way for me too! He was so funny in those movies. Now that I think about it.......it's been too long since I've seen watched those, I think I'll have to rent one for this occasion.

Ah now I remember him. Truely a pity, I only hope his passing was not painful.

[Zargon]

you don't usually feel much when having heart complications, but chemo sucks......

I spent the morning at work watching the Transformers Movie DVD on my computer (long story) so this statement actually makes sense to me now.
