Sep. 26th, 2005 03:15 pmYesterday saw the passing of one of the great heroes of the cold war, a man whose vision and abilities saved the free world again and again.
Maxwell Smart has used the Cone of Silence for the last time. No longer will he push the button he is not supposed to push, talk into his shoe, or have extended conversations with mailboxes.

Don Adams was one of those actors whose brilliance in portraying a particular kind of character made it impossible for directors to see him any other way.
For 4 years, I watched Get Smart. And I always got Smart - he just made sense to me.
May the doors of heaven not slam on your nose, Don Adams!
