LOS ANGELES (AP) — Actor Arte Johnson, who won an Emmy for comedy
sketch work on the television show "Laugh-In," has died in Los Angeles.
Family representative Harlan Boll says Johnson died early Wednesday of
heart failure following a three-year battle with bladder and prostate cancer.
No services have been planned, but his ashes will be spread in a private
ceremony.
On this day in 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, the heir to the
Austro-Hungarian throne, was assassinated in Sarajevo along with his
wife, Duchess Sophie. With tensions already running high among Europe’s
powers, the assassination precipitated a rapid descent into World War I.
