Edward Herrmann, well known movie and television actor has passed away at age 71. Perhaps best known recently from his role on the WB show Gilmore Girls, Mr. Herrmann had an extensive television and film resume. Often cast as the stuffy, east coast snobbish type, Mr. Herrmann guest starred in hundreds of television shows through the years and lent his voice to countless historical documentaries.
His most frequent role was as U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, a part he played in two television movies and in the original film version of Annie.
Mr. Herrmann leaves behind a wife, three children and legions of fans.
