Actor-comedian Orson Bean hit and killed by car in LA, aged 91

"Mr. Bean's face comes wrapped with a sly grin, somewhat like the expression of a child when sneaking his hand into the cookie jar," The New York Times noted in a review of his 1954 variety show,"The Blue Angel." It said he showed “a quality of being likable even when his jokes fall flat.”

Bean's quick wit and warm personality made him a favorite panelist for six years on"To Tell the Truth." The game required the panelists to quiz three contestants to figure out which one was a real notable and which two were impostors. The dramatic outcome inspired a national catchphrase as the host turned to the three and said:"Will the real please stand up?"

The blacklist didn't stop him in the theater. Bean starred on Broadway as a timid fan magazine writer in George Axelrod's 1955 Hollywood spoof"Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?" alongside Jayne Mansfield and Walter Matthau. He also starred on Broadway with Maureen O'Sullivan in"Never Too Late" and with Melina Mercouri in"Illya Darling," based on her hit film “Never on Sunday.
