Obit watch: November 12, 2021.

Friday, November 12th, 2021

Still on the road, but taking a few minutes to round up some obits from the past few days. Sorry if this seems compressed.

F.W. de Klerk.

John Artis, historical and legal footnote. He was the other guy convicted with Hurricane Carter.

“The police and Passaic County law-enforcement establishment was out to get Rubin, and I got tied in only because I was with him on the night of the shootings,” Mr. Artis told The New York Times in 1988. “I was always the guy in the background, the other guy in the case that no one knew or cared about.”

Jerry Douglas. He was most famous for “The Young and The Restless”, but he had a pretty extensive career. “Barnaby Jones”, “Rockford Files”, “Richie Brockleman, Private Eye”, “The Dead Don’t Die”…

…and he was a “Mannix” three-timer. Sadly, IMDB has messed up the site to where I can’t easily get a list of his episodes.
