Title: B movie actor Ed Kemmer dies at 84

Buzz Cory of Space Patrol has passed on.  You probably remember Ed as the know-it-all  high school science teacher in Bert I. Gordon's Earth vsThe Spider or as the lead in Giant from the Unknown.

Ed always made a likable leading man  and was a  World War II hero in real life.  I like the bit about the IRS trying to collect back taxes for when he was a POW!! Check out his profile at  The Astounding B Monster.

"You look at the script and say, 'This is s**t! Well, let's make it the best s**t we can!' That's what you do. You've just got to play it the best you can."
Great quote from a helluva guy.  He delivered his own daughter in the back of a police car, I read.
RIP
