I almost forgot to mention that Asner was in "Change of Habit" (1969), the last feature film that starred Elvis as an actor. The movie's co-star: Mary Tyler Moore, who played a nun.

He moved pretty good to me.

Yeah, so maybe a "Lou Grant" marathon is in our future.

Decades is airing a "Mary Tyler Moore" marathon from Saturday at noon until Monday at 5 a.m. Eastern Time. I believe it was scheduled before Asner's death.

You're thinking about that other Oscar winner named Hunt -- Helen.

Bob Strauss @bscritic Aw, #EdAsner. He was so good at making journalism look more fun than it is. I had a great, profane interview with him for #Up; all he wore was underwear. Ed Asner, Emmy-Winning ‘Lou Grant’ Star, Dies at 91 Emmy-winning actor Ed Asner, who starred as Lou Grant on both sitcom “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” and hourlong drama “Lou Grant,” has died at 91. variety.com 3:23 PM · Aug 29, 2021·Twitter Web App

Apparently, the only thing that could stop "Lou Grant" was Asner's political activism. He was president of the Screen Actors Guild from 1981 to 1985. The drama was canceled in 1982 after its fifth season. CBS contended that the show's ratings had declined. But some observers cited Asner's vocal opposition to the Reagan administration's controversial stance on El Salvador as a major reason for the series' demise.

It's going to be a blue Christmas without Asner. He appeared in productions as Santa Claus (or did voiceovers as St. Nick) many times. His most popular appearance: The 2003 comedy "Elf," which starred Will Ferrell as a misfit resident of The North Pole.

Don't forget that John Amos appeared occasionally as Gordy the weatherman during the run of the series.

With seven wins, Asner reigned as the most-honored male actor in the history of the Primetime Emmy Awards. He also became the first series regular to win comedic and dramatic Emmys, and it was for playing the same character -- Lou Grant. He received three Emmys (1971, 1972, 1974) as Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for his work as Grant in CBS' much-praised "Mary Tyler Moore" sitcom. He then received two Emmys (1978, 1980) as Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series after the character was spun off in CBS' hour-long hit "Lou Grant." Carroll O'Connor, Edie Falco and Uzo Aduba duplicated Asner's feat of winning Emmys for comedic and dramatic series. O'Connor was honored for performances in "All in the Family" and "In the Heat of the Night." Falco won for "The Sopranos" and "Nurse Jackie." Aduba won Emmys for her performances as Suzanne "Crazy Eyes" Warren in Netflix's "Orange Is the New Black." Her first Emmy came when "OITNB" was entered as a comedy. She won again when the series was considered a drama. Asner's other Primetime Emmys were for his performances in the 1970s ABC miniseries "Rich Man, Poor Man" (as the difficult father of the Jordache brothers) and "Roots" (as the captain of a slave ship).

I am reminded that Ms. Kulp reportedly did not get along with Buddy Ebsen, her co-star on TV's "The Beverly Hillbillies." A decade and a half after the show ended, she ran for a Pennsylvania congressional seat as a Democrat. Ebsen recorded spots for her Republican opponent, who won.

Bob Strauss @bscritic #Candyman does a direct, effective job of linking supernatural horror to all kinds of societal ills. Director #NiaDaCosta's visual strategies are also impressive in numerous ways, and most striking when she plants unseen elements in gory set pieces. Avoid mirrors!
