Aw, man. I'm sorry to hear this. Whitey Hughes was amazing. Just saw him in a crowd scene on a CHEYENNE episode--he was always popping up everywhere, especially, of course, on THE WILD WILD WEST.

My favorite Hughes role, and possibly his most unforgettable on WWW: secondary villain/henchman to Agnes Moorehead in the great "Night of the Vicious Valentine", as a bright red-haired cackling jumping hyena of a lunatic. Even when he's hit he giggles insanely. As I recall he was kind of given carte blanche and went for it. Love it.

RIP, Whitey.
