LOS ANGELES Gale Gordon, whose prissy manner and comic tantrums
made him a favorite with viewers of "Our Miss Brooks" and three
Lucille Ball series, has died at age 89.
Mr. Gordon died Friday at the Redwood Terrace Health Center in
Escondido of cancer. His wife, Virginia, died a few weeks earlier
at the same nursing home.
Mr. Gordon's most enduring performances were delivered on "The
Lucy Show," from 1963 to 1968. He played the stubborn, stuffy bank
manager Mr. Mooney, whose life was bedeviled by part-time employee
Lucy Carmichael, played by Ball.
From 1968 to 1974, Mr. Gordon played Lucy Carter's blustery
brother-in-law and employer at the Unique Employment Agency on
"Here's Lucy." ...
