It is painful to watch Mr. Leaonard coughing uncontrollably and know he died just six months after this interview.
This guy did it all: writer, director, producer, actor. I'm glad they got this interview before he passed.

Sheldon Leonard is one of the all-time greats of television. We'll still be watching his shows a hundred years from now.
