Best known for starring in the TV series "Mike Hammer," Stacy Keach has passed away from heart disease and failure at his home in Poland. He was 85 and enjoyed an over 60 year career on screen, TV and stage. As a young actor in the 70s, he starred in movies like "Fat City" and "The New Centurions." In the 80s, he was frequently seen on television. In his later years, he was a character actor in independent films and concentrated on acting on stage which was his passion. If the name is unfamiliar, Keach should be a recognizable face as he was prolific.

Yes, he was quite well known. I wonder why he was living in Poland? That is a fur piece from Hollywood.

I vaguely remember "Mike Hammer."
I have a cup with the meaning of my name on it, and at the bottom of the "meaning" paragraph it says: "Famous people: Stacy Keach."

I always liked him. I had no idea he lived in Poland, though. He was hilarious on his stint on Two and a Half Men with John Amos.
