I thought I was well-informed...

But it turns out that Paul "Bentley" Benedict died on December 8th! Was this mentioned everywhere? I know that with Van "Many Murder She Wrotes to Go" Johnson and Betty Page both passing, a character actor could get lost in the shuffle but come on.

Bummer. I'm filled with a wistful feeling, as one gets as the slow, more mournful music plays against that still shot of a park at the closing credits of The Jeffersons.
