Actor Fyvush Finkel Has Passed Away

Actor Fyvush Finkel has passed away at the age of 93. He had a prolific career on stage and screen, and may be best remember for his role in Picket Fences. In 1997, a star with his name was added to the Yiddish Theater Walk of Fame on the sidewalk outside of the Second Avenue Deli in Manhattan; Fyvush said at the time, "This star has added 25 years to my life." Finkel is survived by sons Ian and Elliot, his brother Nat, three grandchildren, and one great-grandchild. Finkel's wife Gertrude Lieberman passed away in 2008. Read his full obituary at the New York Times.
