I enjoyed these three actors growing up.  Kirk Douglass in some great film roles.  Orson Bean in mostly TV shows, some films, game shows, and of course in talks shows of that era like Mike Douglas, Merv Griffin and of course Carson.  Robert Conrad was great in "Wild, Wild West" and the war/aviation themed "Baa Baa Black Sheep". 

All had very long and interesting lives.  Kirk was of course 103, Bean 91 and still vibrant as he was hit by two cars which killed him, and Conrad at 85 I believe. 

Are today's actors just lacking in depth, character, versatility and plain star power?  Also, as was common at the time all served in the Military in some form.

Very sad.  These three sure gave many hours of quality entertainment.
