LOS ANGELES — Bernard Fox, the mustachioed actor known to TV viewers as Dr. Bombay on “Bewitched” and Col. Crittendon on “Hogan’s Heroes,” has died. He was 89.
Harlan Boll, a spokesman for Fox’s family, said he died Wednesday of heart failure at a Los Angeles-area hospital.
The Welsh-born actor’s extensive, wide-ranging film and TV credits included “The Mummy,” ”Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo,” ”The Dyke Van Dyke Show,” ”McHale’s Navy” and “Columbo.”
He appeared in both 1997’s “Titanic,” playing Col. Archibald Gracie, and in a 1958 movie about the ship tragedy, “A Night to Remember.” He had an uncredited role in the latter, playing a sailor who delivers the line, “Iceberg’s dead ahead, sir!” according to his family.
