Mission: Impossible's Peter Graves dies in LA aged 83
bbc14-Mar-2010 (one comment)
Peter Graves - star of the classic TV series Mission: Impossible and disaster spoof movie Airplane! - has died in the US city of Los Angeles. He was 83.
The actor had a suspected heart attack outside his home after a meal with his family, about a week before his 84th birthday, said publicist Sandy Brokaw.
Graves was perhaps best known for his role as special agent Jim Phelps in the popular TV series Mission: Impossible.
He also played bungling pilot Clarence Oveur in the 1980 film Airplane!.

Peter Graves Loved Iran and Iranians
by Darius Kadivar on Sun Mar 14, 2010 11:45 PM PDTHe made a name with the series Mission Impossible often directed by Iranian expat Reza S. Badyiii. He was invited to Iran several times and I have photos of him coming to Iran's Film Festival. He shot two films in Iran in the late 70's too.
God Bless !
