MILESTONES, Page 80
DIED. Jim Backus, 76, actor who created two enduring American
show-business icons: the myopic Mr. Magoo and locked-jaw
millionaire Thurston Howell III of TV's Gilligan's Island; in Santa
Monica, Calif. Veteran of more than 75 movie roles, Backus became
a symbol of the befuddled fathers of the '50s when he portrayed
James Dean's dad in the 1955 film Rebel Without a Cause.
