Charles Lane, the Classic ‘Stinker’

Feb. 23, 1980: The Times profiles character actor Charles Lane (d. 2007). “The great old days, a lot of them, stunk,” he says. Lane also says Frank Capra “is the most talented man we ever had.”

The only recently late Charles Lane was one of those unsung heroes of film, the working character actor. His career kept going well into the Twenty-first Century. His face in a film always suggested attention to detail and great casting.

Few people knew his name, but millions recognized his face.

I suspect he lived a very happy life.
