So sad wow condolences to his family friends and fans.  Prayers for peace and comfort.  I looked him up and it said he was 91.

I read that he was not in a marked crosswalk when he tried to get across the roadway.  It's just tragic.  Prayers for his family, friends and fans. RIP

Oh, that's so sad.  I hadn't heard the news.  I remember Orson, mostly from game shows years ago.  He always had such a nice personality and funny sense of humor.  Does anyone know if he was  by himself at the time?

I saw that online.  How horrible of an accident.

I just heard about that this morning - completely missed it this weekend. I feel bad for his daughter who lost her husband to a sudden heart attack back in 2012 (he was only 43 years old) and was just out walking at the time.  Both her husband and her dad were just out for a stroll and neither one came home.


Orson's son-in-law, whom he spoke very highly of, was Andrew Breitbart. Imagine that. A conservative political journalist/commentator (who like Rush Limbaugh was single handedly responsible for launching the careers of many of today's best conservative journalists) marrying into a Hollywood family.  Oh the shame!

Time and unforseen occurrence befall us all.

Orson Bean was killed when he walked across the street where his wife works (Theater). He was hit by a car.  Then a second car hit him & killed him. The second car driver was distracted by people yelling at him & did not see him on the street!

Orson Bean was a neighbor of my Aunt. When she past away, Orson Bean bought her house the sits on the Canal in Venice Beach, Calif. Since then, Orson Bean has expand his house - 4 houses! The out side looks the same. You couldn't tell if the house is expanded from the street!

That's so sad.  I remember the name well, but couldn't place a face with it. So I looked him up and he has credits a mile long!  I've watched many of the shows in which he played a part. I saw a credit from 2020.  How wonderful it must be to keep doing what you love into your "mature" years.

So sad. I liked him on two and a half men. I heard he was on a cell phone one cant do that even walking

[cathy37]

So sorry to hear about this.  I do remember him from the past.  Prayers for his family.  This is so sad.  Makes you wonder why he was out walking this late.
