I can honestly say, I never saw him in a production I didn't like.

Wow...94!

Did anyone (reporters) ask him anything about the 2012 DS?

Abe Vigoda Tributed by Conan With Late Night Clip Reel — Watch Video (http://tvline.com/2016/01/27/abe-vigoda-dead-conan-o-brien-tribute-video/)

It's amazing that Abe let Conan do the things to him that he did! But obviously Abe must have had a great sense of humor...

I'll miss Abe. When I was working in NYC in the late 90's my wife and I saw him sitting on a park bench in Central Park with his wife feeding the pigeons... I don't think at the time I knew he was even in DS because I hadn't watched the whole series just yet.

I loved those bits when he was on Conan!! He seemed quite spry for a guy his age... And funny!!  [snow_cry]

Oscars 2016 In Memorium snubs Abe Vigoda and Geoffrey Lewis (http://zap2it.com/2016/02/oscars-2016-dave-grohl-performs-blackbird-in-memoriam-tribute/)

Sure, Abe Vigoda appeared in Godfather I and II, and perhaps that alone should have gotten him included - but I can't honestly say I felt like he was snubbed or that I even expected him to be included because I tend to think of Vigoda as chiefly a television actor because TV is where he had his greatest success and visibility. But maybe that's just me...
