Yep. Van Patten was one of the true "soundtrack of my youth" guys. Except he wasn't a musician. You know what I mean.

Totally underrated flick

I always thought Salami from The White Shadow was his son. Reading the obit, they were half-brothers. Hmm.

Yeah and his sister is Joyce Van Patten who was married to Martin Balsam...their daughter is Talia Balsam who played Mona Sterling on "Mad Men".

****'s son is Vincent who acted, played pro tennis, and is a poker player/commentator

Underrated in the annals of best comb-over ever.

And of course you know Joyce from her term as president of North Valley Little League.

Meh - I think she swayed many due to the blonde hair. Elizabeth was the more natural beauty IMO.

RIP King Roland

He had a nice good run over the past week with the "1-2-3-4-5" code jokes during the Cardinals' hacking news.
