Just read that Harry Morgan...best known to many as Col. Potter on M*A*S*H, passed away today at the age of 96. The article said he was born and lived in Detroit for a while. Anyone know where? Just curious. One of my all time favorite actors.

Harry Morgan, born Henry Bratsberg, lived at 198 Rhode Island, Highland Park or maybe it was 166 East Buena Vista. The author is not completely certain which address is correct.

RIP, Harry. It took me a LONG time to get used to him being Colonel Potter after having him ingrained in my brain as Officer Gannon from Dragnet! He was in quite a few movies over the years too.

He was Henry Fonda's partner in that movie. That's probably the best thing he ever did.
