Edward Herrmann, "Gilmore Girls" Father, Dies at 71

Edward Herrmann, Gilmore Girls Father, Dies at71

Edward Herrmann, the versatile, honey-voiced actor whose roles included patricians and politicians such as Gilmore Girls father Richard Gilmore, The Practice law professor Anderson Pearson and President Franklin D. Roosevelt, has died. He was 71.

Herrmann passed away Wednesday at a hospital in New York. The cause of death was a brain tumor, according to his manager, Robbie Kass.

Besides being an accomplished actor, was also a true gentleman and a scholar, as well as being an incredibly kind and decent man. He will be sorely missed, Kass told CNN.

My friend Ed Herrmann was the kindest, classiest, most talented man. It was an honor and a joy to know him, a devastating blow to lose him, tweeted Lauren Graham, who starred as Lorelai Gilmore in Gilmore Girls.

Over a career that stretched over more than four decades, Herrmann was rarely the star but always a standout.

In a 1980 episode of M*A*S*H, he played a visiting surgeon who starts out confident and polished but cant keep up with the pace. In St. Elsewhere, he had a recurring role as Father Joseph McCabe, the sturdy founder of St. Eligius, the shows hospital, who offered guidance to a future doctor. The latter role earned him two Emmy nominations.

And then there was Richard Gilmore, the blue-blooded father of Lorelai Gilmore, whose snappy dialogue often with his daughter or his wife (Kelly Bishop) couldnt hide his big heart, especially when it came to his granddaughter Rory, played by Alexis Bledel.

That relationship was reflected in real life, he told the A.V. Club in 2012.

I was sort of delegated from time to time to look after her, and I was very, very fond of her, he said, noting that Bledel had a number of challenges her first years on the show. One summer, I thought, Shes not going to make it. Shes going to burn out. But then she went to Italy with a friend to learn cooking, and I thought, Shes going to be fine.

Herrmann had his star turns as well. He was nominated twice for Emmys for his portrayal of FDR, first in the TV movie Eleanor and Franklin (1976) and then in the next years Eleanor and Franklin: The White House Years. (He also played Roosevelt in the 1982 movie version of Annie.)

He won a Tony for his performance in a 1976 revival of George Bernard Shaws Mrs. Warrens Profession. His performance in The Practice led to his only Emmy win.

Even people who didnt recognize him probably knew his mellifluous voice from audiobooks and History Channel documentaries.

But, in general, he was content to be a supporting performer, one of the esteemed and distinctive cadre of performers thought of as character actors. He went easily from role to role his Internet Movie Database page includes 130 credits, including small spots in American Dad, 30 Rock and Drop Dead Diva and he reveled in the work.

In the A.V. Club interview, he expresses enthusiasm for almost everything he appeared in. His co-stars are often great or wonderful, and he has kind words for forgotten films such as Harrys War and his appearance in the maligned 2011 comedy Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star.

Sometimes Im stuck in a straitjacket with suits, playing Alger Hiss and Roosevelt and so on, and I said, These guys are really wonky, and theyre where the kids are these days, so do it! Whats the matter with you? he said. I had a great time.

Recently, Herrmann had been playing Lionel Deerfield in The Good Wife.

He is survived by his wife and two daughters.

They were both treated to covers of their songs by a cadre of famous musicians, including Bruce Springsteen, Lady Gaga, Usher, Jennifer Hudson, and Bruno Mars. The cast of Stings musical The Last Ship even came out during Mars Police medley. Springsteen covered I Hung My Head, a song from Stings 1996 album Mercury Fallen that has also been covered by Johnny Cash. Back when Springsteen was given the honor in 2009, Sting performed The Rising, so things have come full circle. Watch Springsteens and Mars performances below.

Bears ask permission to interview Adam Gase

The Greatest Chicago Bears Highlight Video!

Three teams the 49ers, Falcons and Bears have asked to interview Broncos offensive coordinator Adam Gase. (John Leyba, The Denver Post)

Can Adam Gase become the answer to the enigma that is Jay Cutler?

The Chicago Bears are curious enough to interview the Broncos offensive coordinator.

The Bears became the third team to formally consider Gase for their head coaching position, joining the Atlanta Falcons and San Francisco 49ers.

Those three teams have one thing in common: Talented quarterbacks who have led their teams to at least one conference championship game but are coming off disappointing seasons. Cutler has been perhaps the NFLs most underachieving quarterback the past three years.

A first-round draft choice of the Broncos in 2006, Cutler earned a Pro-Bowl berth in 2008. But when the Broncos fired longtime coach Mike Shanahan after the 2008 season, Cutler demanded to be traded both in the days before and weeks after the team hired Josh McDaniels as their new coach and head of football operations.Dealt to Chicago in 2009, Cutler helped the Bears reach the NFC championship game in 2010 and he was playing well in 2011, winning five games in a row when he suffered a season-ending thumb injury. He has been erratic since, throwing 66 touchdown passes in the past three years, but also 44 interceptions.

Still, the Bears gave him a contract extension that paid him $22.5 million this season and hes virtually guaranteed to make about $15.5 million in 2015.

Cutler would pose a unique challenge for Gase, who worked closely the past three seasons with Peyton Manning, the Broncos meticulously prepared star quarterback. Gase was the Broncos quarterbacks coach in 2012 and offensive coordinator in 2013-14.

Manning averaged 43.7 touchdowns against just 12 interceptions in his past three seasons while leading the Broncos to records of 13-3, 13-3 and 12-4.

Ryan led the Falcons to the 2012 NFC championship game, in which they lost to Colin Kaepernicks 49ers. Ryan compiled a 56-22 record in his first five seasons as a starter but is 10-22 in his last two seasons.

Kaepernick was 21-8, including playoffs, in his first two seasons as the 49ers starter, but was 8-8 this season as he fell from the 10th-rated passer in 2013 to 20th this season.

Gase has been working with the Broncos offense this week in preparation for the teams second-round AFC playoff game next week Sunday, Jan. 11. However, thanks to having a first-round bye, the Broncos are off Thursday, Friday and Saturday before reconvening Sunday at Dove Valley.

Gase will conduct his interviews during the off days with contingents from the Bears, Falcons and 49ers meeting him here in the Denver area.

The Bears have hired former NFL general manager Ernie Accorsi to oversee their search for a new coach and GM. Broncos general manager John Elway has called Accorsi his front-office mentor.

The Falcons are using former Philadelphia Eagles and Cleveland Browns executive Joe Banner as a consultant for their coaching search. Banner was with the Browns last year when the team courted Gase to fill their head coaching vacancy. Gase withdrew from consideration and the job went to Mike Pettine.

The 49ers coaching search is headed by owner Jed York and general manager Trent Baalke. Gase worked for both in 2008 when he was the 49ers offensive assistant to offensive coordinator Mike Martz.

Gases work as an offensive coordinator includes an NFL record 606 points and 55 Manning touchdown passes in 2013, and a midseason shift to greater run balance in 2014 as the Broncos still finished second in scoring at 30.1 points per game.

Kaley Cuoco Doesn"t Consider Herself A Feminist

Kaley Cuoco Shocking Leaked Pictures

Don"t call Kaley Cuoco a feminist.

The "Big Bang Theory" star spoke about equality in an interview with Redbook for the magazine"s February 2015 issue. When asked if she considers herself a feminist, she responded in the negative.

"Is it bad if I say no?" she asked. "It"s not really something I think about. Things are different now, and I know a lot of the work that paved the way for women happened before I was around ... I was never that feminist girl demanding equality, but maybe that"s because I"ve never really faced inequality."

She then went on to discuss the gender roles in her household with husband Ryan Sweeting, whom she married in a surprise ceremony on New Year"s Eve last year after a whirlwind romance.

"I cook for Ryan five nights a week: It makes me feel like a housewife; I love that. I know it sounds old-fashioned, but I like the idea of women taking care of their men. I"m so in control of my work that I like coming home and serving him. My mom was like that, so I think it kind of rubbed off."

Cuoco, 29, is currently one of the highest-paid actresses on television after inking a three-year contract with CBS for $1 million per episode for Seasons 8 through 10 of "The Big Bang Theory."

"All I think about is what it means for my family and knowing there is security for all of us," she told Redbook. Adding: "I remember always hoping I could help take care of [my parents] because they took such good care of me. Knowing I"ll be able to just brings tears to my eyes."

Read more from Cuoco"s interview in the February 2015 issue of Redbook, on newsstands Jan. 6.

Aaron Rodgers, Packers win fourth straight NFC North title

DRAMATIC ENDING TO CHICAGO BEARS-GREEN BAY PACKERS GAME (1984)
Packers Clinch NFC North With Win

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- A heating pad wrapped around his sore left calf, Aaron Rodgers could only watch helplessly on television monitors in the locker room as the Detroit Lions surged closer to his Green Bay Packers.

There was only one place that he wanted to be -- back on the turf with the rest of the Packers while they tried to secure a fourth straight NFC North title.

Green Bay"s franchise quarterback is limping into the playoffs with a smile. Rodgers threw two touchdown passes to Randall Cobb, Eddie Lacy gashed Detroit"s defense for 100 yards, and the Packers celebrated another division championship with a 30-20 victory Sunday.

Rodgers will appreciate a week off after the win, as the Packers (12-4) earned a bye. Detroit (11-5) starts the postseason at Dallas next Sunday. Green Bay will next play on the following Sunday.
