Saturday April 19, 2003
LOS ANGELES (AP) Graham P. Jarvis, a character actor perhaps
best known as neighbor Charlie Haggers in the 1970s TV series
``Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman,'' has died, it was reported Saturday.
He was 72.
Jarvis, who made dozens of television, theater and movie
appearances in a five-decade career, died Wednesday of multiple
myeloma at his home in Pacific Palisades, the Los Angeles Times
reported.
He had a recurring role as Charles Jackson in more than a dozen
episodes of the TV show ``7th Heaven'' and had appeared in series
as diverse as ``The Drew Carey Show'' and ``Six Feet Under.''
His film appearances included roles in ``Alice's Restaurant''
and ``Silkwood.''
Jarvis, who was born in Toronto, began acting at 19 in a
production of ``The Seven Year Itch'' with a small theater company
in Virginia. He attended Williams College before moving to New York
City in the early 1950s to pursue a career in theater.
Jarvis studied acting at the American Theater Wing and was an
original member of the Lincoln Center Repertory Theater.
His theater career included roles in ``Much Ado About Nothing''
and ``The Rocky Horror Show.''
Active in community affairs, Jarvis spent time teaching English
at Camp Holton, a juvenile rehabilitation and probation center in
the San Fernando Valley.
Jarvis is survived by his wife, JoAnna Rader; two children,
Matthew and Alex; and a sister, Kitty Blair.
