NEW YORK (AP) — Dean Stockwell, a top Hollywood child actor
who gained new success in middle age in the sci-fi series
“Quantum Leap“ and in a string of indelible performances in
film, including David Lynch’s “Blue Velvet,” Wim Wenders’
“Paris, Texas” and Jonathan Demme’s “Married to the Mob,”
has died.

Agent Jay Schwartz said Stockwell died of natural
causes at his home Sunday.

Quantum Leap is a science-fiction television series, that originally aired on NBC for five seasons, from March 25,
1989 through May 5, 1993. It stars Scott Bakula (right) as

Happy Days is a sitcom television series that aired first-
run on the ABC network from January 15, 1974, to July
19, 1984.

Henry Franklin Winkler turned 76 October 30.

Kolchak: The Night Stalker is a television series that aired on ABC
during the 1974–1975 season. The series followed wire service
reporter Carl Kolchak (Darren McGavin) who investigates
mysterious crimes with unlikely bizarre causes, particularly those
involving  the supernatural or science fiction, including fantastic
creatures.

The series was preceded by the two television movies, The Night
Stalker (1972) and The Night Strangler (1973). Although the series
lasted only a single season, it rapidly achieved cult status and has
remained very popular in syndication.

Chris Carter cited Kolchak as a “tremendous influence” in creating
his franchise The X-Files. Following that success in 2005, The X-
Files producer Frank Spotnitz resurrected the series with a new cast
and characters, as well as subsequent novels and comic books. The
new series was a ratings bomb and was quietly cancelled after only
six of the ten episodes produced were aired.
