The Brooklyn-born Vigoda, whose hangdog, bushy-browed look was instantly familiar to fans of TV’s “Barney Miller” and the movie classic “The Godfather,” died Tuesday.
He was 94.
“He passed in his sleep,” Fuchs said. “I got up in the morning, he was still in bed, I said ‘Hello!,’ then I went to make a cup of coffee, went back to his room, looked at him, and realized he was gone.
