SO LONG, JONATHAN HAZE

You were the darling of the best in quirkiness, with your portrayal of Little Shop of Horrors' Seymour Krelboined being the crowning gem in your prolific career.

In addition, your brought comparable satisfaction through your appearances in Teenage Caveman; Monster from the Ocean Floor; Day the World Ended; Not of This Earth; It Conquered the World; The Terror; Premature Burial; Dementia; Medium Cool; Born Losers; Another Nice Mess; Gunslinger; Five Guns West; Flesh and the Spur; Apache Woman; Swamp Women; The Oklahoma Woman; The Viking Women and the Sea Serpent; Bayou; Forbidden Island; Man with the X-ray Eyes; Invisible Mom II; Ghost of the China Sea; East of Eden 1955; Nobody Smiling; Naked Paradise; The St. Valentine's Day Massacre; Stakeout on Dope Street; Blood Bath; Vice Squad; Cell 2455, Death Row; The Fast and the Furious 1954; Rock All Night; and Carnival Rock; plus there are your nifty, guest spots on Dragnet; The Phantom Eye; I Led 3 Lives; The Angry Beavers; Overland Trail; Cimarron City; The Californians; and 77 Sunset Strip.

You also scripted Invasion of the Star Creatures, a swell lampoon that merges Army privates with space babes and space monsters, creating a memorable mix of Amazonic titillation with goofy, cosmic hijinks.

Thanks for every ounce of the exuberance you delivered, Mr. Haze. You were (and shall remain) a top-of-the-line favorite: long adored and without question, an absolute pleasure to remember.
