David Kelly Dead at 82

David Kelly, a TV and theater star for 50 years, has died following a short illness, friends said Monday. He was 82.

With such a long, varied and international career, it's hard to say how he will be best remembered, but a good guess is as the workshy builder O'Reilly in the 1970s British comedy "FAWLTY TOWERS," which probably gained him more international recognition than any other role.
