Good Night, Arthur Hill

You may not recognize the name, but anyone who watched slightly more intelligent TV programs no doubt saw him in countless shows, including "Owen Marshall, Attorney at Law", in TV movies and mini-series, as well as in the Michael Crichton movie, "Andromeda Strain." He was a true actor rather than a "TV star".

Funny, I was just thinking about Hill in the last few days and wondered what became of him since it had been so long since I last saw him appear. The reason, besides age (he was 84), was Alzheimer's, a battle he waged for about 16 years.
