RIP Dick Van Patten (Eight is Enough, etc)
Jun 23, 2015 at 10:12am Edited
Reaadin his obit this morning it seems that he started in the "business" at a very young age. Yet he didn't fall prey to all the problems young actors often face.
I loved Eight is Enough. Happy memories of my childhood
R.I.P. , Mr. Van Patten

RIP. He seemed to be a likable guy.
I love how cheerful he is about 1:55 into Weird Al's "Smells Like Nirvana" video.

Just saw that Dick Van Patten passed away. Here's the item from The Hollywood Reporter:
The soft-spoken actor died Tuesday morning at Saint John's Hospital in Santa Monica due to complications from diabetes.
Dick Van Patten, who played the family patriarch on the ABC series Eight Is Enough, has died, his publicist Jeff Ballard confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter. He was 86.
He always seemed such a likable presence on this show and so many others.
