As the World Turns.

Actor and comic Tom Poston, 85, who is best known for having appeared on the 70s sitcom Newhart, has died.

Poston was married three times. His third wife and widow is Suzanne Pleshette, his co-star on Newhart. She also has had some serious health problems in recent years.

This is interesting about the two stars, both of whom knew each other for almost fifty years:

Poston and Pleshette, who had appeared together in the 1959 Broadway play "The Golden Fleecing," had had a brief fling before marrying other people. Both now widowed, they reunited in 2000 and married the following year.

Their paths had crossed on "The Bob Newhart Show" in the 1970s. Poston made several guest appearances on the sitcom in which Pleshette played Newhart's wife.
