This broke on the 11 p.m. newscast here in Los Angeles. I first became aware of Bobby Morse in the film version of "How To Succeed in Business (Without Really Trying)" and then on the ABC-TV series "That's Life!" He also appeared on Broadway (and at the Henry Fonda Theatre in L.A.) in "Tru," a one-man show about Truman Capote. He won Tony awards for both "How To Succeed" and "Tru." He played Bertram Cooper on the AMC series "Mad Men." A couple years ago he was in the audience at the Alex Theatre in Glendale for a one-night-only performance of "Sugar," the musical based on the film "Some Like It Hot." Morse was in the original Broadway cast of "Sugar" and showed up at the Alex for this production of "Sugar" and my friend and I got to talk with him. He was a really charming, modest man.
Robert Morse, known for "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" and "Mad Men," dies at 90
