ED ASNER (1929 – 2021) – Dois personagens marcaram a vida de Ed Asner: o adorável rabugento Lou Grant, em MARY TYLER MOORE e Carl Fredrickson, no devastador UP, ALTAS AVENTURAS, que me roubou uma quantidade inimaginável de lágrimas. Lou Grant era a alma de Ed Asner – seu mal humor se diluía num oceano de docilidade do personagem, ao mesmo tempo rígido e protetor com seus subordinados da WJM-TV. Lou era, de certa forma, a figura paterna sonhada por todos nós, fãs do programa. Era terno, engraçado, sábio. His career was hallmarked by two characters: the lovely gruff Lou Grant in MARY TYLER MOORE and Carl Fredrickson in the devastating UP, which stole a great amount of tears from my heart. Lou Grant is Ed Asner’s soul – his gruffness was attenuated in his character’s sea of docility, at the same time rigid as well as protective boss at WJM-TV newsroom. He was, somewhat, the father figure we all dreamed of: tender, funny, wise.
