Actor Peter Graves, whose career ranged from Stalag 17 to Airplane!, died of an apparent heart attack on the week. Graves was age 83.
Graves was perhaps best known as the spymaster in the 1960s television series Mission: Impossible.
Known for his serious roles, Graves lampooned them all successfully in Airplane!, a send-up of airplane disaster movies. Graves played Victor Oveur, the pilot of a doomed airliner.
