| Ed Flanders wins the Emmy for Outstanding Actor in a Drama Series, September 25, 1983. |
As you may know, the man who gave St. Elsewhere its heart as Dr. Donald Westphall and built a long career as a highly-respected veteran of stage, film and television died on February 22, 1995 in an apparent suicide. The People article "From Elsewhere to Nowhere" as you'd expect, is pretty grim, especially compared to the tribute in On Call published here earlier. I knew I was going to post a link to this article eventually, so I was glad to see that the On Call profile was a bit rosier to provide a nice counterpoint.
These two articles provide a decent overview of Ed Flanders' accomplished acting career, as well as the issues that troubled him.
