RIP Topol

Tel Aviv, Israel — Chaim Topol, who became professionally known solely by his last name in a career that included starring in “Fiddler on the Roof” on stage and screen, died here after a battle with Alzheimer’s disease. He was 87.

MSTies may recall that he was mentioned (by “Jack Perkins”) in a host segment in episode 310- FUGITIVE ALIEN.

Variety has the story.

Thanks to Tim for the heads up.
