In the quiet of a Los Angeles morning, James Handy — a character actor whose face graced nearly five decades of American cinema and television — was fatally stabbed in his own front yard at the age of 81. The suspect, the son of Handy's girlfriend and a resident of the same home, approached arriving officers and identified himself as the perpetrator. It is a somber reminder that the lives of those who populate our cultural imagination are lived, and sometimes ended, in the most ordinary and devastating of human circumstances.
