Arthur Hill dead at 84

by Bob Sassone, posted Oct 27th 2006 8:28AM

Arthur HillI'm not sure if a lot of younger people would know who Arthur Hill is, because his most famous show isn't run anymore (that I know of anyway). Hill played attorney Owen Marshall in the ABC series Owen Marshall, Counselor At Law, in the early 70s. The show costarred Lee Majors.

Hill died last Sunday in California from complications of Alzheimer's Diseases.

Besides Owen Marshall, Hill had several roles in well-known movies, including The Andromeda Strain, A Bridge Too Far, The Ugly American, The Amateur, The Champ, Futureworld, Vanished, and Rabbit, Run. He was also the narrator of 1983's Something Wicked This Way Comes. His last role was an episode of Murder, She Wrote in 1990.

Wow! I remember watching Owen Marshall in the 70's with my Nana. She watched him, and EMERGENCY (Randy Mantooth, Kevin Tighe) and I will never forget the fun we had watching Owen make a case.

I remember watching Owen Marshall with my parents as a kid. There was something about Arthur Hill's performances that were very genuine and believable and it's too bad he wasn't performing more in his later years. It's funny, not long ago I was watching an episode of The Invaders in which he was a guest star and it had me remembering him as Owen Marshall all those years ago. He may not have been in much lately, but he will be missed.

He bears a passing resemblence to former Law and Order DA Stephen Hill. I didn't see anything about a relation on the IMDB though.
