The entertainment world lost some of its most memorable TV stars in 2016. Here are some of them.
Pat Harrington, Jr. (died Jan. 6, age 86)
Harrington had a master’s degree in philosophy but followed his father into acting. He earned praise for his early TV comedy work with Steve Allen and others, but audiences today remember him best as Schneider, the wisecracking building superintendent on the ’70s sitcom “One Day at a Time.”
Abe Vigoda (died Feb. 24, age 94)
Vigoda stole scenes in the TV cop comedy “Barney Miller” and as one of the mafiosi who betray Michael Corleone in “The Godfather.”
