Robert Sterling, the actor who played the wayward ghost George Kerby in the hit 1950’s TV show “Topper” has died. He was 88.
Starring opposite his lovely wife Anne Jeffreys and friend Leo G. Carroll, Sterling was considered one of the early pioneers of television and already had a successful 15-year movie career before venturing into that new technology called television. After the Topper run ended he went on to continue starring in movies and television, making his last appearance with Angela Lansbury in the hit TV show “Murder She Wrote.”
