FILE - Actor Dabney Coleman poses at his home in Brentwood, Calif., Sept. 8, 1991. Coleman, the mustachioed character actor who specialized in smarmy villains like the chauvinist boss in"9 to 5" and the nasty TV director in"Tootsie," died Thursday, May 16, 2024, his daughter, Quincy Coleman, told The Hollywood Reporter. He was 92.
Producer Norman Lear finally managed to syndicate the show, which starred Louise Lasser in the title role. It quickly became a cult favorite. Coleman's character, Mayor Merle Jeeter, was especially popular and his masterful, comic deadpan delivery did not go overlooked by film and network executives.
In 1981, he was Fonda's caring, well-mannered boyfriend, who asks her father if he can sleep with her during a visit to her parents' vacation home in "On Golden Pond." Another was 1987's "The Slap Maxwell Story," in which Coleman was a failed small-town sportswriter trying to save a faltering marriage while wooing a beautiful young reporter on the side.
