'GREEN HORNET' VAN WILLIAMS PASSED AWAY

VAN WILLIAMS, who portrayed GREEN HORNET on television, passed away last Monday. 

After his acting career seemed to have run its course, Williams became a reserve deputy sheriff and firefighter in the Los Angeles area. He had singed his lungs as a firefighter and had suffered from bronchial problems and back pain ever since.

Actor and friend Pat Priest said, “Through it all he remained strong and rarely spoke of what he went through. He was a great guy and a class act all the way,”

Williams' wife wrote,  “He really fought hard, but he had more health issues than he could manage. I am heartbroken.” 

Van Williams was 82.
