Don Adams, an Emmy award-winning actor and comedian, passed away on September 25, 2005, at the age of 82. Adams is best known for his iconic role as Maxwell Smart in the 1960s television series Get Smart. He won three Emmy Awards for his portrayal of the bumbling secret agent, and reprised the role for a series of 1980s TV films. Adams also appeared in many classic films, including Oh, Dr. Becker, The Bear Who Slept Through Christmas, and The Distinguished Gentleman. Born Donald James Adams in New York City, New York, Adams served in the United States Marine Corps during World War II, then studied art and design at the Cooper Union school. A gifted voice actor, Adams is perhaps just as well known for providing the voice of Buzz Buzzard in the classic Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoons. Adams is survived by his three children, four grandchildren, and his partner of 30 years, Doris.
