Obituary
Ralph Paskman, considered one of the architects of CBS News, died April 8 in Morehead City, N.C., from heart problems stemming from a quintuple bypass in 2000. He was 82.
Paskman began his career at WCAU(AM) Philadelphia in 1946. He joined CBS News in 1950 as a staff writer for its radio newscast. Three years, later, he switched to television, moving up from reporter to assignment manager and assistant director over the course of eight years. From 1972 to 1975, he was a producer on 60 Minutes. He briefly left CBS to become executive producer of news for WBBM-TV Chicago, returning in 1976 to serve as Night News manager and to head up Newsbreak. Upon his retirement in 1983, Paskman was director of Newsfeed, a precursor to CBS's 24-hour affiliate news service, CBS Newspath.
Michael Jeter, best known as the wimpy assistant coach on Evening Shade, died March 30 in Los Angeles. He was HIV-positive but in good health at the time of his death. He was 50.
A character actor who appeared in several stage and screen productions, Jeter won an Emmy in 1992 for his role as wimpy coach Herman Stiles in the Burt Reynolds sitcom Evening Shade. He was nominated twice more for the role before the series ended in 1994.
Born on Aug. 26, 1952, in Lawrenceburg, Tenn., Jeter got his start in New York, where he landed a small part in Milos Forman's film Hair
in 1979. He worked steadily throughout the '80s before landing the Stiles role in 1990.
After Shade, Jeter made guest appearances on other television series, including Chicago Hope
and Picket Fences, for each of which he was again nominated for Emmys.
Jeter joined the cast of Sesame Street
in 2000 as The Other Mr. Noodle.
At the time of his death, Jeter was filming The Polar Express with Tom Hanks.
