Share

Marty Milner starred in one of the great movies of all time, “The Sweet Smell of Success,” with Burt Lancaster and Tony Curtis. He has passed away at age 83. Milner is fondly remembered as the star of two TV series, “Route 66” and “Adam 12.” He was a real TV pioneer actor, working constantly without a break from the late 1940s until 1997. Rest in peace. If someone knows if he has a star on the Walk of Fame, let me know. He should.
