"Calling Dr. Bombay! Emergency! Come right away!"
Fox was best known for playing Dr. Bombay, a womanizing warlock, on “Bewitched" from 1966 to 1972. He also famously appeared as Captain Winston Havlock in the 1999 flick “The Mummy” and in “Titantic” as Col. Archibald Gracie.
The Welsh actor, who retired from the spotlight in 2004, also played the bumbling Col. Crittendon on “Hogan’s Heroes” through the late '60s, and lent his voice to the Disney movie “The Rescuers” and its sequel “The Rescuers Down Under.”

DR Heimlich dies aged 96
Quote:
US doctor Henry Heimlich, who invented the manoeuvre used to help victims of choking, has died aged 96.
Dr Heimlich died at a hospital in the US city of Cincinnati early on Saturday following complications from a heart attack he suffered on Monday, his family says.
Dr Heimlich invented the lifesaving technique, which uses abdominal thrusts to clear a person's airway, in 1974.
In May he used the technique himself to save a woman at his retirement home.
He dislodged a piece of meat with a bone in it from the airway of an 87-year-old woman, telling the BBC: "I didn't know I really could do it until the other day."
Canadian entertainer Gordie Tapp, a comedian, musician, script writer and pitchman,
died Sunday from complications of pneumonia at age 94.

During the 1950s, he was a founding member of "Main Street Jamboree," a radio and TV show out of Hamilton, and hosted the CBC music-variety program "Country Hoedown" from 1956 to 1965.
Tapp eventually took his act south of the border to the popular American variety series "Hee Haw," inspiring other Canadian performers to follow his lead.
In more recent years, Tapp was also known for appearing in TV commercials for Ultramatic beds, and was a committed philanthropist, raising funds for the Muscular Dystrophy Association and the Easter Seals Society.
He is survived by his wife and his children Kate, Jeff and Barbara.
