Actor Bill Macy, who played Bea Arthur’s long-suffering husband, Walter Findlay, on Maude, died Thursday evening, producer and friend Matt Beckoff revealed. He was 97 years old.
“My buddy Bill Macy passed away at 7:13 p.m. tonight,” Beckoff posted to Facebook on Thursday. “He was a spitfire right up to the end. What an honor to book him for Gilbert Gottfried II Frank Santopadre and Dara Kravitz Gottfried podcast. It really was the cherry on top. He LOVED being on that show. My condolences to his beautiful wife Samantha Harper Macy.”
