Matthew C. Clark Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Dandy Don Meredith dies of a brain tumor at 72 years old Sunday night. As he would have said "Turn down the lights, the party's over" on ABC's Monday Night Football (1970 - 1973) & (1977 - 1984). Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOMMY TUNES Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 He can hang out with Howard Cosell. Provided they both end up in the same place that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LobsterLvr Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Back in '88 I had a chance to shoot a commercial with Don. He was a gentleman, funny, fun and friendly. I've got a picture of Don and I in some shoebox, somewhere!! Rest in peace, Don,Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missm Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Jerry, thanks for posting Don's screen credits. I guess I got him mixed up with Merlin Olson (Little House). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Jerry, thanks for posting Don's screen credits. I guess I got him mixed up with Merlin Olson (Little House). Actually, Merlin also had a decent acting career - Click here for Merlin's acting resume He also did the voice-over for FTD commercials, as well as commercials for syndicated airings of "The X-Files."
