Carroll O’Connor, 76, 1924-2001

Whenever someone mentions Carroll O’Connor, the first thing that comes to our mind is that gruff voice and typical New Yorker accent! Building a career on social debates with youngsters, he became a star that everyone enjoyed both on and off the screen.

As a testament to Connor’s talent, he earned close to $250K a week for his iconic role in ‘All in the Family,’ making him one of the highest-paid actors of his generation. It has been almost two decades since Carroll passed, but no one has managed to fill the void he left in the character roles arena!
