Alex was also a Iowa Hawkeye. A member of the '56 Rose Bowl team. In '57 was the Outland Trophy winner and runner up for the Heisman Trophy which is very rare for a lineman.

I'm really surprised that he was 77. For some reason, I always thought he was closer to my age (early 60s). I don't think I've ever seen him and not liked what he was doing -- from football to acting. He was always a pleasure. I'm sorry he is gone.

Forgot about Victor/Victoria which is probably my favorite Julie Andrews' movie.
