Farewell

Darren MacGavin has left us at the age of 83.

To most people he was the foul mouthed father to the Red Ryder BB Gun obsessed kid in "A Christmas Story"... or perhaps you remember him from a memorable performance as Sinatra's dealer in "The Man with the Golden Arm"... or maybe his role as TV's Mike Hammer in the 50's...

For me, he will always be Carl Kolchak, an intrepid reporter with wry wit and the misfortune of being caught up in one supernatural story after another...

Thanks for the memories Mr. MacGavin. Rest In Peace.
