Earl Holliman, the actor whose career spanned over five decades and included roles in both film and television, has passed away at age 96. Holliman died on Monday in hospice care in Studio City.

Curtis remembered him as 'a gracious, kind confidant, a consummate host, a man whose indefatigable positivity was evergreen and powered by a 1000-watt smile, an easy charm and infectious goodwill' (pictured in 1987) While working at North American Aviation to make ends meet, he managed to sneak onto the Paramount Studios lot, where he met Paul Nathan, an associate producer for Hal Wallis.
