Hi Patti,  This is sad news.  I remember him so well as Eliot Ness on the "Untouchables,"  and mostly for his "Unsolved Mysteries" show, which I love and use to watch faithfully.    I understand that his wife had found him slumped over a chair and that his heart gave away on him. 

The saddest part is that he just got over a bout with cancer (I think Prostrate) and had beaten it, only to die from a heart attack.   I always thought he was such a handsome looking man.   May he rest in peace now.

I was so sad to hear about his passing.  :'(  I remember Stack mostly from Unsolved Mysteries, probably the show that fed my interest in the supernatural.  He must have had a Tate portrait stashed away somewhere; it's hard to believe he was 84. Rest in peace.

There's a bit of a Dark Shadows connection here.

Robert Stack did a few episodes of Falcon Crest. Kim Novak played his former mistress and the mother of his son.

He had a few scenes with David Selby, including one in which they played billiards.

His character was eventually murdered.

Patti,

I've got those episodes on tape somewhere, but not handy at the moment. I'm not sure that there is a good tight shot of the two of them on screen at the same time. I know that I do have a grab of David at the billiard table on my site, and Stack was in the scene, but I don't have a shot of him up there.

Sorry.
