CharlesLane (born January 26, 1905 in San Francisco, California as Charles Gerstle Levison) is an American character actor, seen on countless movies and TV shows, and is the oldest living American actor.
In 1990, Lane was rushed to the hospital, having difficulty breathing.
Lane still lives in the Brentwood home he bought with her, for $46,000, in 1964.
Lane has been a familiar figure in movies (and, subsequently, on television) for 60 years, portraying crotchety, usually miserly, bad-tempered bankers and bureaucrats.
Lane was born Charles Levison in San Francisco in 1899 (some sources give his year of birth as 1905).
The CBS country comedy series Petticoat Junction needed a semi-regular villain and Lane just fit the bill as Homer Bedloe, the greedy, bad-tempered railroad executive whose career goal was to shut down the Cannonball railroad that served the town of Hooterville.
CharlesLane, along with Thoreau, may be described as a voluntaryist and we need only look at his letters on 'voluntary' government to see why.
Lane and Alcott were originally attracted to one another because of their commonly held educational and dietetic views (both were vegetarians), but they also found their opposition to existing institutions highly compatible.
Lane demonstrates his knowledge of the classroom and teachers by asserting that if the doors of the school were flung open to competition, few of the existing teachers would find students.
CharlesLane is a skinny, craggy-faced character actor, typically portraying grumpy neighbors, tightwads, and hotel clerks.
In the episode of I Love Lucy where Lucille Ball gave birth, Lane played a character he described as "this old guy who is expecting his 10th child or something", in the waiting room with pacing, nervous father-to-be Desi Arnaz.
In 1990, Lane was rushed to the hospital, having difficulty breathing.
CharlesLane was an English Transcendentalist, educator, and editor; a writer, reformer, and businessman; and a partner with Amos Bronson Alcott in the Fruitlands communal experiment at Harvard, Massachusetts, in 1843.
Lane stands out from the other English Transcendentalists because of the range and clarity of his writings.
Lane worked in the City, the London business district, as a commercial journalist, successfully editing and managing the London Mercantile Price-Current for many years.
