With a voice as recognizable as his face, veteran actor Robert Stack’s career began in 1939 and included more than 40 films and numerous television series, including his role as Eliot Ness in ABC’s The Untouchables and more recently Unsolved Mysteries, which he hosted since 1989. Stack, treated for prostate cancer in October 2002, died May 14, 2003, at age 84 from a heart attack. His dramatic roles in films like The High and the Mighty and Written on the Wind were complemented by his comedic roles in Airplane! and Caddyshack II.

Cindy Crawford, Sheryl Crow, Tea Leoni, and Olivia Newton-John are donating their bras to a good cause.

Rogers received a posthumous honorary degree from the school.
