Subject: Then There Was One… Mod Squad’s Clarence Williams III Gone at 81

Written By: LyricBoy on 06/06/21 at 6:25 pm

Legendary and versatile actor on both the large screen and small, Clarence Williams III, has passed away at the age of 81.  :\'(

Clarence first hit the big time, playing the role of Linc on The Mod Squad. Years later he scored a huge role, playing the troubled father of Prince in the hit flick, Purple Rain.  8)

With Peggy Lipton’s :-* death in 2019 (from colon cancer, same thing that got Clarence) and Tige Andrews’ in 2007, this leaves Michael Cole as the only surviving Mod Squad member.  :-\\

I watched him on Mod Squad (despite that it was over my head at age 9).  Sad to say goodbye  :\'(  :\'(  :\'(

I used to watch the Mod Squad, too. I remember the tag line: One White, one Black, and one Blond.


There was one time we were watching Charlie's Angels and my sister noticed that it was a recycled story from The Mod Squad.
