Charles Lane passed away yesterday at age 102. If you don't recall the name, you certainly know his face.
With 338 IMDB credits (that must be a record), Lane's career spanned more than 60 years. His first credit was in 1931, his last in 2006. He appeared in many Hollywood classics including "It's a Wonderful Life," "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town," "Cat and the Canary" (1939), "Twentieth Century," and "Arsenic and Old Lace". He appeared frequently on television, probably best remembered for the role of Homer Bedloe, the mean railroad man, in "Petticoat Junction" and 8 episodes of "Bewitched," usually playing Darrin Stephen's "client." He frequently appeared in "I Love Lucy" in the 1950's. No movie fan could have avoided Charles Lane! What a wonderful life! What a wonderful career!
