Farewell, Peter Graves
Peter Graves, star of Mission: Impossible and the Airplane! movies, has gone off to the great big Turkish prison in the sky to watch gladiator movies with a naked grown man. Peter's manager said he died of a heart attack outside of his home in Pacific Palisades, CA. Peter was aaaaaaalmost 84. His birthday is on Thursday.
Peter's publicist said that he was far from being retired, and was even working on a few projects before his death. Peter's career has taken him everywhere from Mission: Impossible to Airplane! to an episode of The Golden Girls to a show called The Angry Beavers (this had to be included).
Rest in peace, Peter Graves. Well, not completely in peace, because Tommy Girl is making another Mission: Impossible movie, so you'll be rolling in your grave for the next couple of years.
That's Clarence Oveur. Over.
• 
He was great at drama and comedy. RIP Peter Graves.

RIP Pete.
I wish his family well. He was awesome.
That movie is hilarious. Love those blue eyes.
RIP peter
Captain Oveur: What is it, Doctor? What's going on?
Rumack: I'm not sure. I haven't seen anything like this since the Anita Bryant concert.

Airplane was one of the best comedies of all time.
It was great because we didn't have stupid PC shit to tame people down.
You couldn't get away with a line "I take my coffee black. Like my men" these days.
Classic shit. And Peter was hilarious!
RIP Peter

Saw him a couple years ago at ReddiChick in the Brentwood Country Mart and he looked great.
Aw, RIP, Mr. Phelps. He was beyond funny in Airplane! - brave, too. That movie was full of old-timey actors who found their hilariousness there: Leslie Nielsen, Robert Stack, Graves, and above all, the until-then completely sane Lloyd Bridges (Oscar winner Jeff's dad, who went on to play loony Mr. Mandelbaum on Seinfeld).
Mr. Graves was one of the last of his kind and he will be missed.

A sister on DataLounge has clarified things:
"He was gay as a goose."
I don't believe that for a millisecond. He was married to his high school sweetheart for years and years and had three children. If he was, something about it would have leaked out over the years. I think that's someone's wishful thinking.
The Angry Beavers!!! LOVE THEM

R.I.P Peter Graves.
One of my favorite roles he did besides the Airplane movies, M.I. etc was when he did a voice for Mr.Pibb on ''American Dad''. He was so adorable.
And yes I like gladiator movies..

Will Peter be buried with that bad rug?
Also, was Peter said to be 'of the persuasia'?
Airplane! is one of my fav movies of all time...
I was so sad to read this yesterday.

Our whole family will miss Peter Graves....what a guy. RIP.
I loved it when he and Shirley Knight guested on House as an elderly couple having an affair.
Rest in peace, Mr. Graves. What a class act you were.

I used to have the hots for him back in his M:I days. And, that scene in Airplane! when he comes on to the kid in the cockpit is priceless.
I met him once when I was about 12 years old at a celebrity baseball game in Hawaii. Lovely, lovely man. He was SO nice.
R.I.P. Mr Graves.

Too bad they no longer make shows like Mission Impossible or like his brother's show, Gunsmoke.

RIP, Mr. Graves :(
FUN FACT on a lighter note though: "great big Turkish prison in the sky to watch gladiator movies with a naked grown man" must be TommyGirl's version of OT8!!

Wasn't he Mannix's brother or something?
I just found out he was James Arness' younger brother (and JA is still around!)
The young folks won't remember him, but James Arness played Matt Dillon on Gunsmoke... I miss the TV westerns.
"Ever been in a Turkish prison?" Great role. I've been thinking of "Airplane!" since TMC ran "Zero Hour!" last week ("Airplane!" took the same plot and added all the jokes... check out "Zero Hour!" if you haven't seen it).
I heard that Peter Graves had brunch with his family, took a nap and didn't wake up. At 83, that's not a bad way to go.
RIP.
"Ever seen a grown man naked?" Love that movie, he was great. RIP Peter.
Wasn't he Mannix's brother or something?
RIP Mr. Graves, truly a classic in Airplane. Kiss the sky.
