Robert Vaughn was married for forty-two years and had two children.

He starred in many movies and TV shows and he stood five-feet-ten.

He was the proud father of a daughter and a son.

When he died, he was surrounded by loved ones.

He died of Leukemia which is the same kind of cancer that took my dad.

Vaughn was loved by many people and his death has made everybody feel sad.

He was asked to run against Ronald Reagan for Governor but he declined.

Vaughn was an extraordinary actor and he was also a credit to Mankind.

 

[Dedicated to Robert Vaughn (1932-2016) who died on November 11, 2016.]

This brings back memories of the early sixties. Man From Uncle was a favorite show. I used to take the subway to my sister's house just so I could watch it in color. I've pretty much enjoed everything I've seen him in. thanks fo the memory nudge, Randy.

Yeah, liked him in The Man From Uncle, The Magnificient 7, Battle Beyond The Stars, Demon Seed (voice of the computer Proteus) and the two episodes of Columbo he guest starred in. He had a kind of laid back suavity, I think, that's not very common among American actors.
Also, don't know if you Americans have seen it, but he was very good in the BBC crime series Hustle, playing the wise elder mentor to a group of confidence tricksters.

Oh look, a link. I wonder where it leads.
