Former actor-turned-film historian and face of Turner Classic Movies, Robert Osborne, has died at the age of 84. He started out as an actor for Desilu until Lucy told him he might not enjoy acting. He appeared in the pilot for The Beverly Hillbillies.
Eventually, Osborne became a film historian, and had hosted Turner Classic Movies since its 1994 debut. In 2011, he took a leave of absence. They had been grooming Ben Mankiewicz (of the famous Mankiewicz family) as his successor.
RIP
