R.I.P Harold Gould

Some actors just exude a humanity that touches. Harold Gould was one of those actors. Like many, I knew Harold mainly from his stint as Rose's boyfriend Miles but Gould had a career way beyond The Golden Girls. Gould played Valerie Harper's father on television's Rhoda, the con man Kid Twist in the 1973 movie The Sting, as well as films like Harper, Love and Death, Freaky Friday and Patch Adams. Gould was also a fixture on television in projects such as Mrs. Delafield Wants To Marry (with Katharine Hepburn below), Soap and most recently Nip/Tuck. Gould is survived by his wife of 60 years, Lea; his children, Deborah Gould Harris, Joshua Gould and Lowell Gould; and five grandchildren
