Jerry Orbach (1935 – 2004)
For all of you Law & Order fans, or Dirty Dancing fans, you have probably heard the news that Jerry Orbach has passed away at the age of 69 due to his bout with prostate cancer.

Jerry Orbach Dies at 69


Jerry Orbach was diagnosed with prostate cancer last spring. The actor had continued to work during treatment and was even working double time on the set up a Law & Order spinoff called Trial and Jury. Dick Wolf, the creator of Law & Order, had this to say of Orbach's passing:

"I'm immensely saddened by the passing of not only a friend and colleague, but a legendary figure of 20th century show business who was a star of screen, stage and television. From 'Chicago' to '42nd Street,' from 'Prince of the City' to 'Law & Order,' he was one of the most honored performers of his generation. His loss is irreplaceable."

The industry will be hard hit by Orbach's death, but his family will endure in his two sons Anthony and Chris. And, as the saying goes, the show will go on.

CanMag.Com sends condolences to all of Orbach's friends and family
