You performed in Brigadoon and Lorelei, as well as becoming a regular on The Kallikaks and Custer.
There were also those swell guest-starring spots on Emergency!, Charlie's Angels, M*A*S*H, Dallas and Three's Company.
But the role that catapulted you to immortality was none other than Li'l Abner, in the stage and film commemorations of Al Capp's adored, homespun hillbilly.
Few can claim to hold such iconic status, but through your comic-strip portrayal, you gained just that. May you now rest in peace, Mr. Palmer, comforted in the knowledge that you and the cinematic li'l one will carry on to make us smile and warm our hearts for decades to come.
