Henry Gibson Dies
More sad news for today. Actor Henry Gibson, star of “Laugh-In” has died at the age of 73. He recently had a role in the TV series Boston legal. This is another celebrity that leaves us after a battle with cancer.
Henry Gibson, the veteran character actor who came to fame in the late 1960s as the flower-holding poet on TV’s landmark satirical comedy show “Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In,” has died. He was 73.
Gibson died late Monday night after a short battle with cancer at his home in Malibu, said his son, Jon.
Gibson, who more recently played a recurring role as cantankerous Judge Clark Brown on ” Boston Legal,” was part of the original ensemble cast of “Laugh In,” which ran on NBC from 1968 to 1973.
The hour-long show, whose original cast included Goldie Hawn, Judy Carne, Ruth Buzzi, Arte Johnson, Jo Anne Worley and others, was an immediate hit.
“Henry was an integral part of ‘Laugh-In’ for a long time, and he was brilliant,” said Gary Owens, the show’s announcer, who remained close to Gibson over the years. “He was a very funny man.”
