Riddled with Cancer

Riddle me this:
It can't seen, It can't be smelt,
It can't be heard, It can't be felt.
It hide behind stars and under hills;
Empty holes It fill.
It come before and end after,
Ends life, kills laughter.

The answer is darkness, and Frank Gorshin, probably best known as the Riddler on the camp classic ‘60s Batman series, has got all he can handle. Originally a minor character in the Batman comics, Gorshin’s manic and Emmy-nominated performance as The Riddler made him one of Batman’s most frequent foes. Gorshin spent 50 years on stage, and was principally known as one of the all-time great impressionists. His performance as George Burns in the Rupert Holmes-penned Say Goodnight, Gracie drew rave reviews. Despite battling lung cancer, emphysema and pneumonia, Gorshin kept working to the end of his life, appearing in the season finale of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation that aired two days after his death. The Las Vegas-set series returned Gorshin to the scene of his greatest triumphs, first as an opening act for Frank Sinatra, and later as a headliner. Gorshin also had the good fortune to appear on The Ed Sullivan Show the night he introduced The Beatles. Gorshin observed the frenzied crowd and asked, "How do all these girls and guys know I'm here tonight?" Other career highlights included the black-and-white faced Commissioner Bele on Star Trek, master criminal Kellogg on Buck Rodgers and Fair Deal Dan on The Munsters.
