One of the great character actors Charles Lane has died. He was 102.
Charles Lane, 102; familiar face in hundreds of TV and film roles
By Claudia Luther, Special to The Times
July 11, 2007
Charles Lane, the anonymous yet highly familiar character actor who specialized in playing humorous cranks in hundreds of film and television roles stretching back to the early 1930s, has died. He was 102.
Lane died Monday night at his home in Brentwood, according to his son, Tom.
Though his name was not known to most, his sharply featured face and lanky presence were recognizable to generations of moviegoers as the man who suffered fools badly in such films as "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" (a newsman), "It's a Wonderful Life" (the rent collector), "You Can't Take It With You" (an IRS agent), "No Time for Sergeants" (the draft board driver) and multitudes of others in which he played shopkeepers, professors, judges, bureaucrats, doctors, "a guy at the bar," policemen and salesmen.
In the 1930s alone, he appeared in 161 films, sometimes moving from set to set to deliver a few lines in each of several movies in one day.
"And I was being paid $35 a day," Lane told Associated Press writer Bob Thomas in an interview just before his 100th birthday. "When the Screen Actors Guild was being organized, I was one of the first to join."
Starting in the early 1950s, Lane was also on dozens of TV programs, including "The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show." Perhaps most famously, he appeared in classic episodes of "I Love Lucy," playing several characters who all seemed to have in common a stunned if comical lack of patience with the bumbling Lucy. He said it was on this show that he perfected the crusty skinflint role.
"They were all good parts, but they were jerks," he told The Times in 1980 of his characters on "I Love Lucy." "If you have a type established, though, and you're any good, it can mean considerable work for you."
And work he got. Throughout the 1960s, '70s and '80s, Lane could be seen on "Perry Mason," "Dennis the Menace," "The Twilight Zone," "Bewitched," "Get Smart," "The Flying Nun," "The Andy Griffith Show," "Lou Grant" and many other shows.
In the '60s, audiences got to know him as Homer Bedloe, a scheming trouble-shooter for the railroad on "Petticoat Junction." In the '70s, he had running parts on "The Beverly Hillbillies" as Foster Phinney and on "Soap" as Judge Anthony Petrillo.
Max Baer Jr., who was Jethro on "The Beverly Hillbillies," said that although Lane played "a gruff, arrogant kind of guy" there and in dozens of other roles, "that was not him at all; that was a character.
"When he first started acting, when people wanted a guy who was cantankerous, they cast Charlie," Baer said.
After more than 60 years of acting, Lane last appeared in a TV movie in 1995. But he could be seen out and about in Hollywood for another decade.
In March 2005, he was pictured with a wide smile in Variety while attending a TV Land Awards event at which friends presented him with a birthday cake after he turned 100. At another centennial party two months earlier, held by family and friends, he modestly summed up his career of mostly smaller parts: "There was a character I played that showed up all the time, and people did get to know him, like an old friend."
Lane was born Charles Levison on Jan. 26, 1905, in San Francisco and started his working life in the insurance business. In 1928, he joined the company at the Pasadena Playhouse — which was known for training actors for the movies — appearing in more than 100 productions over three decades. He made his film debut as a hotel desk clerk in "Smart Money" (1931) with Edward G. Robinson and James Cagney.
He eventually perfected the role of a meanie and, although he occasionally marveled at the roles written for him, he remained agreeable as he racked up myriad parts. His roles were so numerous that he told TV Guide in 1965 that he would occasionally see himself in movies on TV and have no memory of having played that role.
"He could do so many different parts; he was so versatile," Paramount producer A.C. Lyles said. "People would say, 'Try to get Charles Lane, and if you can't get him, get someone like him.' "
Lane said his favorite director was Frank Capra, who directed him in eight films, including "You Can't Take It With You," "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" and "It's a Wonderful Life."
"He knew the camera better than the head cameraman," Lane said. "He had an intuitive feeling with scripts."
The actor kept a framed letter from Capra in his Brentwood study: "I am sure that everyone has someone that he can lean on and use as a crutch whenever stories and scenes threaten to fall apart. Well, Charlie, you've been my No. 1 crutch."
Lane told friends and family at the 100th birthday celebration in January 2005: "Just think, I could have been in the insurance business!"
As he neared 101, Lane was working with filmmakers Garret Boyajian and George Ridjaneck on a documentary about his life titled "You Know the Face." He told the Wall Street Journal that although he had trouble with his legs, "mentally, apparently, I'm pretty good."
Lane served in the Coast Guard during World War II. His wife of 71 years, actress Ruth Covell, died in 2002. In addition to his son, of Santa Monica, he is survived by a daughter, Alice Deane, of Friday Harbor, Wash.; and a granddaughter.
A celebration of his life is being planned. Instead of flowers, the family suggests donations to the Motion Picture & Television Fund in Woodland Hills.
Congratulations Ray. You were top horse picker this year.
I had fun all season. Wish it was longer. Thanks for keeping score for us Ski.

Seeking God
29But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.

To the soul who seeks Him.
Lamentations 3:25 NKJV
9And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever.
1 Chronicles 28:9 KJV
13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

34 But when the Pharisees heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. 35 Then one of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, and saying, 36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?”
37 Jesus said to him, “ ‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”

Question: "Who am I in Christ?"
Answer: According to 2 Corinthians 5:17, “if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” There are two Greek words which are translated new in the Bible. The first, neos, refers to something that has just been made, but there are already many others in existence just like it. The word translated new in this verse is the word kainos, which means something just made which is unlike anything else in existence. In Christ, we are made an entirely new creation, just as God created the heavens and the earth originally – He made them out of nothing, and so He does to us. He does not merely clean up our old selves; He makes an entirely new self and this new self is actually part of Christ Himself. When we are in Christ, we are “partakers of the divine nature” (2 Peter 1:14). God Himself, in the person of His Holy Spirit, takes up residence in our hearts. We are in Christ and He is in us.
When we are in Christ and He in us, we are regenerated, renewed, and born again, and this new creation is spiritually minded, whereas the old nature is carnally minded. The new nature is in fellowship with God, obedient to His will and devoted to His service. These are things the old nature is incapable of doing or even desiring to do. The old nature is dead to the things of the spirit and cannot revive itself. It is “dead in trespasses and sins” (Ephesians 2:1), and can only be made alive by a supernatural quickening which happens when we come to Christ and are indwelt by Him. He gives us a completely new and holy nature and an incorruptible life. Our old life, previously dead to God because of sin, is buried, and we are raised “to walk in newness of life” with Him (Romans 6:4).
In Christ, we are united to Him and no longer slaves to sin (Romans 6:5-6); made alive with Christ (Ephesians 2:5); conformed to His image (Romans 8:29); free from condemnation and walking not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit (Romans 8:1), and part of the body of Christ with other believers (Romans 12:5). The believer now possesses a new heart (Ezekiel 11:19), and has been blessed “with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus” (Ephesians 1:3).
We might wonder why we so often don’t live in the manner described, even though we have given our lives to Christ and are sure of our salvation. This is because our new natures are residing in our old fleshly bodies and these two are at war with one another. The old nature is dead, but the new nature still has to battle the old “tent” in which it dwells. Evil and sin are still present, but the believer now sees them in a new perspective and they no longer control him. In Christ, we can now choose to resist sin, whereas the old nature could not. Now we have the choice whether to feed the new nature through the Word, prayer and obedience, or to feed the flesh by neglecting those things and engaging in sin.
When we are in Christ, “we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us” (Romans 8:37) and can rejoice in our Savior, who makes all things possible! In Christ we are loved, forgiven, and promised salvation. In Christ we are adopted, justified, redeemed, reconciled, and chosen. In Christ we are victorious, filled with joy and peace, granted true meaning in life. What a wonderful Savior is Christ!
