Robert Cornthwaite, a character actor whose more than 50-year career in theater, films and television included roles in classic thrillers and thrilling classics, has died. He was 89.
On television, he appeared in series as varied as "Perry Mason," "The Twilight Zone" and "The Monkees." In the 1950s, he made frequent appearances in dramatic anthology series, including "Studio 57," "Four Star Playhouse" and "Schlitz Playhouse of Stars."
