Edward Herrmann Dies
Edward Herrmann died today of cancer. Perhaps his best remembered role (at least for me) was as Alger Hiss in Concealed Enemies. This superb Emmy-winning 1983 drama was one of very few efforts to deal with the Hiss case in either movies or television, and while I did not agree with the central premise of the mini-series, that is, that Hiss was framed by Whittaker Chambers, it was still a very good and very watchable program.
Herrmann was absolutely stellar as hiss.
