He was a fine character actor and stayed with us for almost a century. He had a full life.

You saw Warren Stevens a lot, usually as a business-like villain. He was one of the "repatory company" of guest stars that created the world the stories took place in. Their contributions were arguably as important as the series stars and they usually got the most interesting roles.

As with "Regina" in that ABC Sunday night TV series of: "Once Upon a Time". http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1843230/ Re: the actress: Lana Parrilla http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0663469/ The Evil Queen! (;-) born: 1977.

Plus speaking of A.B.C., here's another obit for Warren, who years ago, back in the early 1990s sent me an autographed picture through the mail also, of his portrait, of I should have sent him some Lobby Card from "Forbidden Planet" to sign too:

P.S. I did send one of those sci-fi "Forbidden Planet" postcards to Leslie Nielson with a stamp on it to return, but that he placed INside an envelope. I should have sent him some Walt Disney "Swamp Fox" comics to sign too. And yet another too late, being Allan Melvin, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allan_Melvin of not late on the signed picture portrait from him, but too late on all the "Magilla Gorilla" comic books that I could have had signed. Plus FYI Raquel Welch does sign those "Fantastic Voyage" comic books, as I sent one to her and she signed that plus a "Kansas City Bomber" photo too! (;-)

Fans of vintage television science fiction will remember him in the Twilight Zone episode "Dead Man's Shoes" and The Outer Limits segment "Keeper of the Purple Twilight".

They had a Twlight Zone Marathon on Thursday. It was sooo Neat* Those things use to creep me out and scare the tar out of me. I look back and think , boy was I being silly.

What was the episode where Billy Mumy could look at people and banish them to the corn field.
He turned one guy to a jack in the box head.

I remember no mater what the kid did , they'd tell him > That was A Good Thing you did , good thing.

Me , I'd of smacked him upside the head.
