No cause of death was given. He was 92.<\/p>\n<p>Fans know Coleman from his memorable turns in the aforementioned 9 TO 5 and TOOTSIE, but with a career that spanned 6 decades chances are you\u2019ve seen him in one of his 150+ film and TV credits, such as WAR GAMES (1983), THE MUPPETS TAKE MANHATTAN (1984), and ON GOLDEN POND (1981). As a kid growing up in the 80s, I remember Coleman from the lesser known and underrated spy adventure film CLOAK AND DAGGER (1984), co-starring ET\u2019s Henry Thomas. Most of the roles Coleman played were those of a jerk or a comic-relief villain, like Franklin Hart, Jr., the sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical boss in 9 TO 5, also starring Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin and Dolly Parton, and Ron Carlisle in TOOTSIE, also<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>starring Dustin Hoffman and Jessica Lange. Even though he played despicable characters, one couldn\u2019t help but love Dabney Coleman, as his charisma and comic-timing made him so likable.<\/p>\n<p>Coleman\u2019s additional filmography includes I DREAM OF JEANNIE (1965-1970), THE TROUBLE WITH GIRLS (1969), THE TOWERING INFERNO (1974), MARY HARTMAN, MARY HARTMAN (1976-1977), BARNABY JONES (1973-1980), MELVIN AND HOWARD (1980), CALLIE &amp; SON (1981), THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES (1993), YOU\u2019VE GOT MAIL (1998), INSPECTOR GADGET (1999), STUART LITTLE (1999), THE GUARDIAN (2001-2004), RAY DONOVAN (2013-2020) and YELLOWSTONE (2018-).<\/p>\n<p>Ringside Report sends our condolences to Dabney Coleman\u2019s family during their time of grief.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #808000;\"><a style=\"color: #808000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.authorhouse.com\/en\/bookstore\/bookdetails\/232300-BOXING-INTERVIEWS-OF-A-LIFETIME\">Click Here to Order Boxing Interviews Of A Lifetime By &#8220;Bad&#8221; Brad Berkwitt<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Geoffrey Huchel Emmy-winning actor Dabney Coleman, best known for his performances in classic movies such as 9 TO 5 (1980) and TOOTSIE (1982), passed away May 16, 2024, at his home in Santa Monica, California.
