77 year old Alex Karras had just lost his battle to kidney failure, cancer and dementia. It was a sad day for the Karras family when the news broke this morning. Alex was deeply loved by his family and was a very gifted actor.
Mel Brooks who directed the hit movie Blazing Saddles remembers Alex and mentioned that he was a pleasure to work with at the time. Alex was also in the hit television series Webster playing a father who adopted a son. The son in real life Emmanuel Lewis, who played Webster, sent his condolences to the Karras family as well.
There are so many touching memories surrounding this gemstone of a father and this talented actor who has been seen worldwide. He is now greatly missed!
