 Comedian and actor Bob Newhart died last week at the age of 94. His publicist says he passed away Thursday in Los Angeles after a series of short illnesses. He had two hit series, The Bob Newhart Show in the 1970s and Newhart in the 1980s. He was later known for appearing in the film Elf and The Big Bang Theory. A lifelong Catholic, Newhart was married to his wife Virginia for 60 years. He told Legatus in 2013 that the couple's Catholic faith helped keep their decades-long marriage stable.
