MILESTONES, Page 17
DIED. Fred MacMurray, 83, television's quintessential father
figure; in Santa Monica, Calif. Adept at comedy and drama,
MacMurray had a stage, film and TV career that spanned five
decades. Although he usually played the proverbial good guy in
his more than 80 films, MacMurray's most memorable roles went
against type: a crooked insurance agent in Double Indemnity
(1944), a cowardly, ambitious Navy lieutenant in The Caine
Mutiny (1954) and a philandering husband in The Apartment
(1960). But his affable image served MacMurray well in several
Disney movies and in the role of the widower-father Steve
Douglas in TV's My Three Sons.
