that he was wounded at Omaha Beach during the Normandy Invasion. A war hero, too. And he passed away on Veterans' Day.

http://www.msnbc.com/news/992228.asp?0si=-The man entertained many millions of people plus he helped turned back the Nazis. Art Carney must have been at peace till the end.

Sad. Two of my all time favorite movies are 'Harry and Tonto' and 'The Late Show'.
R.I.P. Norton.

| 5. And some time tonight you hear Ralph say... |
|
"You...are a mental case."
If ever there was a comedy on TV that worked it had to be the Honeymooners.
Rest in Peace Art Carney. There will never be another performer quite like you.

| 15. Cozy memories of early childhood in the Fifties |
|
watching the hysterically dysfunctional "Honeymooners"-- they seemed a helluva lot closer to my own family than "Donna Reed" or "Leave It to Beaver"!
Thanks for the memories, Art. You were the greatest!!
