Frank was a great actor and impressionist. I grew up in Pacific Palisades and always remembered that he lieved in the area. I was very excited to see his one man show "Say Goodnight Gracie in New York. He was astounding! When I spoke to him earlier this year (at the one-woman show on Etherl Merman), he was in usual happy self. He will be missed.

Gorshin was a brilliant impressionist. No one could do Kirk Douglas And Burt Lancaster complete with the big toothy smiles like Frank. To see him at his best, you need to watch a 1970,s TV series called "The Copycats" starring Frank and Canadian impressionist Rich Little.

Frank Gorshin was the best at impersonation. I remember him in the early 50's in Pittsburgh. He was in high school when he won the "Wilkens Amateur Hour", singing Mammy, on one knee. he had Al Jolson Perfectly. Dottie: My condolences to you and Paul.

He was a staple of 70's TV appearing in dozens of top shows at least the ones I loved to watch. He was filming two movies aside from CSI when he fell ill I hope the films capture his great comic side and his mastery of impressions, it was this mastery that let him play the Riddler, a loving father or a killer.
