We've lost another of the great character actors. Fredd Wayne (best remembered for playing Benjamin Franklin on "Bewitched') passed this morning. He would have been 94 in October. Maryanne (his wife) just called to give me the sad news. His credits read like a resume of classic TV history - "The Twilight Zone", "Perry Mason", "Gunsmoke", "Bewitched", etc. etc. etc. He was not only a superb actor but was also a super nice guy and good friend. RIP, Fredd. You will be missed.
