NEW YORK (http://www.bing.com/maps/?v=2&where1=NEW YORK&sty=h&form=msdate) — Cliff Robertson, the handsome movie actor who played John F. Kennedy in "PT-109," won an Oscar for "Charly" and was famously victimized in a 1977 Hollywood forgery scandal, died Saturday. He was 88.
His secretary of 53 years, Evelyn Christel, said he died in Stony Brook of natural causes a day after his 88th birthday
Robertson never elevated into the top ranks of leading men, but he remained a popular actor from the mid-1950s into the following century. His later roles included kindly Uncle Ben in the "Spider-Man" movies.

I know. Seems like we have lost a lot of actors in the last year or so.

The military channel has been showing PT-109 last week. Coincidence?
