Very sorry to hear about McCormick, he was a stitch. Way back, one of the cable stations did a series "Fairy Tale Theater", some amazing retelling of famous fairy tales with big name stars. He wrote for many of them and acted in at least one.. "The Princess and the Pea" with Beatrice Straight, Liza Minelli and a franantic Tom Conti. He was the VERY odd King who would interject random pronouncements like "From This Day Forth, All men of the kingdom named Richard, will henceforth be known as "Buddy"" Cracked me up.
