Farewell, Uncle Owen
Feb. 10th, 2006 07:57 pmPhil Brown, who played the cantakerous Uncle Owen in ANH, died today at age 89. Brown had been in poor health for a long time. He was a guest at Celebration II and I remember seeing him in a wheelchair and breathing from an oxygen tank, looking rather frail. I'm surprised he lasted nearly four more years, to be honest. But he appeared at conventions until a couple of years ago, and signed autographs from home until a year/year-and-a-half ago.
Clear skies to Mr. Brown and condolensces to his family.
