'Prisoner' actor Patrick McGoohan dies in LA

By ANDREW DALTON

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Patrick McGoohan, an Emmy-winning actor who created and starred in the cult classic television show "The Prisoner," has died. He was 80.

McGoohan died Tuesday in Los Angeles after a short illness, his son-in-law, film producer Cleve Landsberg, said Wednesday.

McGoohan won two Emmys for his work on the Peter Falk detective drama "Columbo," and more recently appeared as King Edward Longshanks in the 1995 Mel Gibson film "Braveheart."

But he was best known as the title character Number Six in "The Prisoner," a surreal 1960s British series in which a former spy is held captive in a small village and constantly tries to escape.

I found an appropriate school

I'll be changing careers come the end of February. I think I have found a suitable mentor to nurture my skills.



Excuse me while get back to practicing my Judy chops.

Helicopter drivers?

Man, Bush is such a moron. He should have skipped this final presser.

Petulant.
Rambling.
Incoherent.
Evasive.

And just plain out of touch.

Bush wants gated community

(My Uncle always told me that the building above was the biggest hotel in Atlanta.)

Apparently GWB wants federal funding for a gate to his community. If he wants a federally subsidized gate I suggest he move into one of the already existing gated communities run by the feds. I hear Atlanta is very nice. And it's just a few miles from the chimp house at the Atlanta Zoo.
