Actor CharlesKimbrough of MurphyBrown fame has died at 86
Charles Kimbrough, best known for playing uptight news anchor Jim Dial on “Murphy Brown”, has died at age 86.Kimbrough had spent the first few decades of his career onstage in New York — which included a Tony nomination for his role in the 1970 Broadway production of “Company” — when he was cast in “Murphy Brown”.
“Starting when I was 30, I somehow gave off an impression at an audition that had them mentally put me in a three-piece suit or put an attaché case in my hand,” he added. “If there was a stiff-guy part, the director would brighten up when I came in. That wasn’t the response I wanted. I was in anguish.
Despite his television success, the stage remained Kimbrough’s first love; among the many Broadway productions in which he appeared were the 2012 revival of “Harvey”, Al Pacino’s 2010 production of “The Merchant of Venice”, “Sunday in the Park with George” , and many others. Kimbrough was married to actress Beth Howland, who played flighty waitress Vera Gorman on “Alice”, from 2002 until her death in 2015.
