RIP Michael Ansara
« on: August 02, 2013, 11:22:12 PM »
I remember years ago a thread on the mayhem board about his son with Barbara Eden dying on a bridge in California while trying to help after an accident.

On the bio it says their son Matthew died of an overdose. I don't see how I remembered something different.

Heroin is a bitch.  Matt was getting ready for the Los Angeles show when he ODed.  He was sitting in his little beater pickup, pump number 7 at the Chevron gas station on myrtle and the 210 freeway in Monrovia.  Gentle giant of guy, looked mean but was so nice.  Trained at astro guy in Covina. He is dearly missed

I loved this guy as Mr Freeze on the Batman animated series.  I'm super jelly that he got to hit prime Barbara Eden.  I would bang her old ass today, that's how fine she was/is.

Lived to be 91 and was banging Barbra Eden. Not bad.

Deicide is at peace now. His threads on dumps will be missed.

Cool guy.

Wore a bad rug.

No mention that he played Kane on Buck Rogers in the 25th Century.
