Character Actor Charles Lane 1905-2007Scott
Thanks for the update.  I am a fan.  He always added so much to the movies.  As 
impressive as his IMDB numbers are, there are others with more...Edgar Kennedy 
and Oliver Hardy to name two.  I can't remember the number, but Ward Bond was 
up there as well.

Regards!

  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!
