Actor Orson Bean hit and killed by car in L.A.

Actor Orson Bean died Friday night after being struck by two cars while trying to cross a street in Venice, residents confirmed to CBSLA.
Bean, 91, was best known for being a panelist on various versions of “To Tell The Truth”.
At about 7:35 p.m., Bean was trying to cross Venice Boulevard, between Shell Avenue and Pisani Place, when he was struck by a car traveling west, according to Los Angeles police. Bean was not at an intersection or a light, police said.

As people rushed to his aid, Bean was then hit by a second vehicle, according to police. He died at the scene.

“It’s a jaywalking-type situation,” LAPD Capt. Brian Wendling told reporters Friday. “We encourage everybody to please cross at crosswalks, be really mindful of traffic. This is a huge problem on the Westside of Los Angeles.”

How sad. I remember him most as a regular on Johnny Carson.
