    As a kid, I was so delighted with myself when I realized that he was Charlie. I was watching Dynasty, which I started watching at a bit too young and thought, "wait a minute!" I'm rewatching Dynasty right now and he''s the best.

    How refreshing to hear of an actor who made family a priority and honored his wife, it seems to be a rare occurrence in Hollyweird.

      @@ForeverCarrington I totally understand. I always tear up when I think of him. He seemed like a very humble upstanding kind of guy. I could have seen him as a great leader well not in this corrupted world. I think he was so precious.

    I actually had the opportunity to work with Mr. Forsythe in the mid 90's. He was working on a documentary about horse jockey Bill Shoemaker while in Tulsa, Ok. He was the most kind, genuine and thoughtful person (not actor) that I have ever met - excluding my own dad. The picture of us is one of my most cherished memories of those days in the media business, RIP Mr. Forsythe... say 'hi' to my dad for me.

      @@ForeverCarrington You are so welcome.... I worked with people like George Lindsay (Goober) Tom Poston, George Wendt (NORM!), Steve Allen, David Carradine (Kung Foo) and Colleen Dewhurst. Some were nice (Wendt was GREAT) most were aloof and sometimes rude. John Forsythe was an absolute 'Prince' of a gentleman - and very approachable to everyone. I too, wish you could have met him. He LOVED the 'Sport of Kings'!!!

    A touching story I read:
    In his latter years, he received a letter destined to another actor, I believe Burt Reynolds.
    He kindly took the time to reply, saying that there was a slight error, and it was the house of John Forsythe.
    The note was very kind, class act.
