I watch "Streets Of San Francisco" almost every day while I eat lunch. In fact, I did so today, before I heard the news. It's fun seeing all the locations here in The City, often right here in my own neighborhood where they filmed. Last year I bought a copy of Hitchcock's "I Confess" (1953-with Montgomery Clift) on a bargain DVD pile and Karl Malden's character in that film was very similar to the role he wound up playing 20 years later in "Streets of San Franciso". A great, under-rated actor! Wolfman Jack is dead? I somehow missed that news when it happened. (But that would explain why I haven't heard/seen him in some years. . . ) Oh No- As I'm typing this news is coming over the radio that Mollie Sugden, who played Mrs. Slocombe in the British TV series "Are You Being Served has also passed away.  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 07-01-2009 04:37 PM                     Well we have three actors gone for today.
