If you are a lover of those 'B' movie horror films or some classic comedies of the late 50s through 60s you may be interested in the recent passing of Charles Herbert. The New York Times said on Friday that Herbert, 66, died in Las Vegas on Oct. 31.

Herbert was a child star who appeared in the 1958 classic "The Fly." He made many other appearances, says the Times, in both movies and television including a segment of the "Twilight Zone," which I honestly don't remember but will probably look for now.

More about Herbert is available by clicking here - an unfortunate story about a very successful child actor who did not find the same success as an adult.
