Just this year, we've had Molly Sugden and Wendy Richard, both from 'Are You Being Served?'; Patrick McGoohan and Ricardo Montalban, both on the same day and both having played murderers on 'Columbo'.
Walter Cronkite and Irving R. Levine both passed away in 2009; Cronkite just yesterday. But they have more in common than just being newsmen. They both appeared in a 'Murphy Brown' episode from November of 1989 - "Roasted", the ninth episode of the second season.....

It is sad that we have lost two of the greats in the field of television journalism. What I loved about both Messrs. Cronkite and Levine is that they seemed very personable. And they were both capable of making the average person understand complex subjects--Mr. Cronkite with the space programme and Mr. Levine with economics. Sadly, I don't think today's journalists are nearly as good, although they raised the bar pretty high.
