A Star’s Burial Site
In February of 2006, Don Knotts passed away and he is buried at Westwood Memorial Park (where other dead stars are buried) in Los Angeles. His gravestone is more animated than many in the group. As we mentioned, it features a few of the characters that he played during his acting career. Almost two decades have passed since he died, but he is still considered an inspiration by a lot of comedians and actors.
Playing A Captain
Don Knotts appeared in the comedy The Last Time I Saw Archie in 1961. He played Captain Harry Little in the film, which is set in the final days of the Second World War. Robert Mitchum plays the main character Arch Hall Sr., who is a lazy, scheming American working in an aviation school that are for pilots who are too old for flying an aircraft yet not too old for flying liaison aircraft and military gliders. Most major newspapers critically panned the film.
