[Deathwatch] Lane Smith, actor, 69

"LOIS and CLARK" actor Lane Smith dies at 69


It is with great sadness that we share the news that actor Lane Smith,
who many fans recently became re-acquainted with on the Lois & Clark
DVD set, has died this morning (June 13, 2005) at the age of 69.

Smith had suffered from ALS in his later years. To fans, he will always
be remembered for his portrayal of Perry White in all four seasons of
Lois & Clark.

Here is the statement we received from a family member:
---
Hi and thanks for your concern and good wishes and prayers. We are
sorry to tell you that my Uncle Lane Smith died earlier today, a
blessed relief from his ALS. Thank you so much for your support. 

>From the Family of Lane Smith

We've set up a Lane Smith memorial thread at K-Site that you're all
welcomed to post in, and we'll do our best to get it to his family so
they can see how much his work was appreciated and loved.

Stay tuned to K-Site in the coming days for a more fitting look back at
Lois & Clark's favorite "Chief."
