I doubt he has the necessary web access to read this but I wanted to send out good thoughts in the direction of veteran character actor Charles Lane. He is seen above in his recurring role of Homer Bedloe, the mean old man who wanted to scrap the Hooterville Cannonball on the TV series Petticoat Junction. It was just one more of his eight million screen roles, most of which cast him as a similarly-mean old man.
Mr. Lane is 101 years old today. It's a Wonderful Life, indeed.
