Actor Steve Landesberg, 74,  best known for his role in the sitcom Barney Miller, of colon cancer.

One of his favorite hobbies was to keep people guessing how old he really was, kind of like Zsa Zsa Gabor:

Initial reports of Mr. Landesberg’s death, relying on numerous biographical sources, said he was 65.

He fooled the whole world. People were surprised to think he was even 65.”
