RIP Tom Bosley

He had quite a distinctive voice.

There was an anecdote in the Times obituary:

In the interview with the television archive, Mr. Bosley said he had suffered stage fright only once. It was very early in his career, before he moved to New York, and he had a small role in a play outside of Chicago that starred Shelley Berman and Geraldine Page. At the first performance, he was obsessively going over his lines backstage and lost track of the progress of the play. He made his entrance several minutes early.

“And Shelley Berman is on one side of the stage, and Geraldine Page is on the other side,” he recalled. “And she turns and looks at me and says, ‘Do you mind? We’re doing a play here.’ ”
