James Farentino Dead; Actor Dies Of Heart Failure At 73http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/24/james-farentino-dead-acto_n_1229750.html 
LOS ANGELES — Actor James Farentino, who appeared in dozens of movies and television shows, died Tuesday in a Los Angeles hospital, according to a family spokesman. He was 73. Farentino died of heart failure at Cedars-Sinai Hospital after a long illness, said the spokesman, Bob Palmer. Farentino starred alongside Kirk Douglas and Martin Sheen in the 1980 science fiction film "The Final Countdown." The movie featured a modern aircraft carrier that travels back in time to Pearl Harbor hours before the Japanese attack. Farentino also starred opposite Patty Duke in 1969's "Me, Natalie." FULL story at link. Many of you know Marta and I have many friends from the classic or golden era of TV. We never met Mr Farentino. We do have several friends in common that spoke well of him. OS
