- <p> DIED. Fred MacMurray, 83, television's quintessential father
- figure; in Santa Monica, Calif. Adept at comedy and drama,
- MacMurray had a stage, film and TV career that spanned five
- decades. Although he usually played the proverbial good guy in
- his more than 80 films, MacMurray's most memorable roles went
- against type: a crooked insurance agent in Double Indemnity
- (1944), a cowardly, ambitious Navy lieutenant in The Caine
- Mutiny (1954) and a philandering husband in The Apartment
- (1960). But his affable image served MacMurray well in several
- Disney movies and in the role of the widower-father Steve
- Douglas in TV's My Three Sons.
