Canadian Paul 97 Posted May 14, 2007 Apparently, Lane narrated a version of "The Night Before Christmas" in 2006. I searched YouTube to see if I could find the video, but to no avail. I did, however, find the video of his . Maybe not the Ruby Muhammad of the acting world, but more lucid and active than a lot of 80-90 year olds methinks.

DevonDeathTrip 2,358 Posted July 10, 2007 Charles Lane Dead. http://www.forbes.com/feeds/ap/2007/07/10/ap3900611.html Shocking news! He was at such a tender age. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted July 10, 2007 The actor's son, Tom Lane, said he was talking with his father Monday evening. "He was lying in bed with his eyes real wide open," the younger Lane said. "Then he closed his eyes and stopped breathing." He pulled the same stunt in at least half a dozen movies. So - shock horror - the film in post production should now be called You Knew The Face and Tammy Faye, so long our star pick, will have to break sweat to make a top five place.

Windsor 2,233 Posted July 10, 2007 Charles Lane is the 4th hit of 2007. He is the 154th since 1987. The 2007 list is now in 16th place out of a possible 21 lists. That is if he gets a UK obit... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Octopus of Odstock 2,197 Posted July 10, 2007 A great shame - despite his great age, I am very saddened by this, as, such as I have mentioned before, Lane was one of my favourite character actors of all time, and one of the last links to the "Golden Age" of film. However, well done to Deathlist and anyone else who picked him. I am confident he will get a UK obit, though it might take a few days, perhaps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted July 11, 2007 I guess this means Charles Lane will never get his "details to follow" on the front page. Poor sod lives for yonks and is pushed out of the limelight by LBJ's dead widow. He's best known for bit parts, what did he expect? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
