From WaPo:

“Paul Benedict, 70, an American actor who played the British neighbor Harry Bentley on the CBS sitcom “The Jeffersons” in the 1970s and 1980s, was found dead Dec. 1 at his home on Martha’s Vineyard, Mass. The cause of death is under investigation”

Mr. Bentley was a hilarious character and Paul Benedict played it perfectly. He also turned me on to one of life’s great pleasures: having someone walk on your back. R.I.P., Mr. Bentley.
