Cliff Robertson, a great leading male actor... Oscar winner for his lead in "Charly" and "Uncle Ben" in the Spiderman flicks has passed away of natural causes a day after his 88th birthday.

In the '50's, he was THE dapper male....

Rest In Peace, sir. Thanks for so many great flicks... especially "Charly". 

he also did 50 episodes of "Rod Brown of the Rocket Rangers" -

ON MY HONOR AS A ROCKET RANGER, I PLEDGE THAT:

I SHALL always chart my course according to the Constitution of the United States of America.
I SHALL never cross orbits with the Rights and Beliefs of others.
I SHALL blast at full space-speed to protect the Weak and Innocent.
I SHALL stay out of collision orbit with the laws of my State and Community.
I SHALL cruise in parallel orbit with my Parents and Teachers.
I SHALL not roar my rockets unwisely, and shall be Courteous at all times.
I SHALL keep my gyros steady and reactors burning by being Industrious and Thrifty.
I SHALL keep my scanner tuned to Learning and remain coupled to my Studies.
I SHALL keep my mind out of free-fall by being mentally alert.
I SHALL blast the meteors from the paths of other people by being Kind and Considerate. 

Good advice even to this day...
