To honor the memory of Ken Howard, we take a look at his classic drama The White Shadow.

The White Shadow was created by famed television legend Bruce Paltrow, who is also known as Gwyneth Paltrow's father. Mr. Paltrow passed away in 2002 after suffering from cancer.

The character of Warren Coolidge appears in another Bruce Paltrow creation- St. Elsewhere. He is played by the same actor and plays an orderly on the hospital drama.

The White Shadow was a huge hit in Turkey, popularizing basketball in that country. As a result, an entire generation of Turkish youth started playing the game at school and on playgrounds around the country.
