Harry Morgan R.I.P.

by John - 17:28 on 08 December 2011

It is with much sadness that we read of the death of the beloved actor Harry Morgan.   Harry, 96, passed away peacefully at his Los Angeles home after suffering from pneumonia.

This Emmy award-winning actor who appeared in more than 100 films, is best remembered as Colonel Potter in the TV series M*A*S*H.

Mike Farrell, who played BJ Hunnicutt in M*A*S*H, said of Harry Morgan:- "There was not an unadorable bone in the man's body."

Morgan famously cried during a 1983 news conference after making the final episode of M*A*S*H, (which became the most-watched show in the history of US television.)   He told reporters:-
"I'm feeling very sad and sentimental. I don't know if M*A*S*H made me a better actor, but I know it made me a better human being."

R.I.P. Harry Morgan, forever Colonel Potter.
