I feel bad .. quilty too, as I've just had a chance to read through various
posts from the last few days and I spotted this one.
Charles Lane was a familiar face .. and yet, not a name that fell from the
lips easily. An actor of immense skill yet not an out and out star. Of
lesser importance? NEVER - as Toochis says, a wonderful actor!
I salute his work and his career and am apologetic for being lazy and late
in my admiration of him.

Character Actor Charles Lane 1905-2007
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!
