Dabney Coleman, ‘9 to 5’ Star and ‘Boardwalk Empire’ Actor, Dies at 92


Dabney Coleman, an American actor who starred as the misogynistic boss in '9 to 5' and appeared on 'Boardwalk Empire' and 'The Guardian,' has died.

Similar satirical send-ups of authority figures came with Coleman’s performances in the 1993 film adaptation of “The Beverly Hillbillies” and the 1994 cult comedy favorite “Clifford,” as well as his voice role as Principal Prickly on the ’90s animated series “Recess.” Coleman was also a decorated dramatic actor, winning an Emmy for his performance in the 1987 TV film “Sworn to Silence,” which followed tensions in an Amish community after a series of murders. In 2011 and 2012, he shared Screen Actors Guild awards for outstanding performance by an ensemble in a drama series for his work among the cast of HBO’s “ Boardwalk Empire.” Additionally, he earned his first Emmy nomination in 1983 starring in the celebrated but short-lived talk show sitcom “Buffalo Bill.”
