This is sad news. I remember, as I am sure many others on here do, Mr Zimbalist as a PI on "77 Sunset Strip". He has achieved additonal fame as Inspector Lewis Erskine on "The F.B.I" and was well known as a devout Christian and politically Conservative. May God rest his soul.

Efrem Zimbalist Jr., the suave leading man who starred on ABC for 15 straight seasons on 77 Sunset Strip and then The F.B.I., died Friday at his ranch in Solvang, Calif., his children announced. He was 95.

Zimbalist was a household name from 1958 through 1974 for his performances as dapper private eye Stuart Bailey on Friday night staple 77 Sunset Strip, which lasted six seasons, and as Inspector Lewis Erskine on The F.B.I., which ran for nine.
