Mr. Osborne had been ill for quite some time. He had stepped away from working full time on TCM. Ben Mankiewicz had taken over full time. It was a smooth transition so that the fans would not be in total shock when he left. Ben and Mr. Osborne had worked together for a long time on TCM. They would take turns introducing the films. Therefore, Ben knew exactly what to do, when the time came.
I had a feeling something was wrong because Ben has been the only person I have seen “previewing” the movie classics I enjoy. I am SO sorry to hear of his passing … he was quite the gentleman. He will be greatly missed.
