Hot off the presses! My brother Howard just alerted me to the death of David McCallum, age of 90. I'm sure Richard will be heartbroken when I tell him, he had quite the thing for Ilya Kuryakin on *The Man from U. N. C. L. E.* back in the day. Howard too, but in a different way - - Howard had a *Man from U. N. C. L. E.* lunchbox.
Here's a cheesy homemade compilation of McCallum moments on the show:
Whatever bozo put together this compilation got it R-O-N-G wrong with the woman featured in 1:25. That was not Judy Carne, that was the divine Phyllis Newman.
Howard sent me this groovy, moody tune from a McCallum album. Who knew he was a composer and conductor? This tune was sampled by Dr. Dre!
McCallum is best known for the current crop of kids (the ones who watch TV) for *NCIS.* Here he is telling the story of how he was cast on that show:
