Actor James Karen died October 23 at age 94. He was a memorable heel in the original 1982 Poltergeist, appeared in Return of the Living Dead and Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster (to name but a few of his credits), but in the NYC area, he will forever be known as the on-camera spokesman for the Pathmark chain of supermarkets in commercials that seemed to run for years! I actually met him once, many years ago. He seemed like a nice guy.

I had him on my list.

Signor V.

"For me, there's only my wife..."

"Sure I cook with wine - sometimes I even add it to the food!"

"When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?"

"It was a grass harp... And we listened."

"Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it? Every, every minute?"

"No. Saints and poets, maybe... they do some."
