Darren McGavin R.I.P.

Another beloved actor has also died.

Darren McGavin, whom I am familiar with as "The Old Man" in the classic film A Christmas Story, was 83.

He made an indelible mark in the world of cinema as "The Old Man", who's daily battles with the dying furnace and complete ecstasy experienced upon winning a major award, only to have it purposefully broken by a jealous wife, has won him a permanent place in cinema history and has made A Christmas Story an essential part of the Christmas holidays.
