KEITH ANDES (1920-2005)

Actor Keith Andes passed away November 11th. His obituaries play up the fact he was Marilyn Monroe's leading man in one film - but neglect to mention his most immortal role: that as the original voice of Hanna-Barbera's BIRDMAN.

Andes also had signifigant guest parts on STAR TREK and THE RIFLEMAN - and was the co-star of GLYNIS (a short lived 1963 Glynis Johns TV show I watched when I was a kid), but I digress. My point is, Andes earned his wings.

"BIIIirdRrdMaAnnnnnn!"
