‘Rockford Files’ and Emmy-winning actor Stuart Margolin dead at 82

Stuart Margolin, “Rockford Files” and “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” actor, has died. He was 82.

Margolin’s stepson confirmed his death on his social media page. A cause of death was not announced.

“The two most profound moments in my life… the birth of my kids and being bedside as my step-father passed this morning. My mother, brother and I holding his hands. All the time in between birth and death, life, is up to us to fill with equally profound moments,” his stepson and actor Max Martini shared on his Instagram, Monday.

“It made me realize how much time I’ve wasted on things that were never going to amount to anything. Just a profound realization I thought I’d share. Love you Stuart Margolin. A great actor/writer/producer/director. But more importantly, a profoundly gifted step-father that was always there with love and support for his family. RIP Pappy. Keep ’em cold.”
