Alan Rachins dead at 82: Actor starred on LA Law and Dharma & Greg
Rachins became a household name in the 1980s and 1990s LA Law, in which he played the rich, tough-as-nails, philandering attorney Douglas Brackman.
He succumbed to heart failure while asleep at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center early Saturday morning, his widow Joanna Frank told The Hollywood Reporter. One year later, he landed the role that made him a household name - the ruthless and sexually insatiable lawyer Douglas Brackman on LA Law, which was co-created by his brother-in-law Stephen Bochco. The legal drama was a smash hit, with a cast featuring such names as Harry Hamlin, Jill Elkenberry - and Joanna Frank in a recurring role as Brackman's betrayed wife.
