Charles Durning, Prolific Character Actor, Dies at 89
Charles Durning, right, with Dustin Hoffman, in a scene from âTootsieâ in 1982. Mr. Durning died on Monday.ame poverty, battlefield trauma and nagging self-doubt to become an acclaimed character actor, whether on stage as Big Daddy in âCat on a Hot Tin Roofâ or in film as the lonely widower smitten with a cross-dressing Dustin Hoffman in Tootsie.

Wow â Charles Durning featured in so many movies!
I always associate him with The Hindenburg; a staple of âholiday timeâ TV for as long as I can rememberâĶ

Never really liked the "Superanimation" series like Captain Scarlet, Thunderbirds and Joe 90 but did like Space 1999, which is generally derided.
