A sad passing. Odd, I was just thinking about him the other day, wondering what he was doing, etc. So many great actors from AW that never really moved to another soap. That was sort of the beginning of the end of an era. :(
He was perfect for the role of Carl Hutchins in Another World. Loved him with Rachel (Victoria Wyndham). I think he made it "cool" for older guys to wear their hair in a ponytail.
I watched Another World back in the day. I loved the redemption of Carl and his courtship with Rachel. I saw the actors on Oprah once, reading a poem together and it was funny, good rapport. He looked good with that pencil thin mustache and ponytail. Sad news.
Keating's Another World co-star Alicia Coppola tweeted about his passing on Saturday. "Charles Keating has passed. I am so very sad," she wrote. "Along w/ @LindaDano he was my very first acting teacher. The actress I am is because of them." Keating had been battling cancer.
A London native, Keating appeared with the Royal Shakespeare Company before turning to television. He is best known for his role as reformed villain Carl Hutchins on Another World from 1983-1985 and 1991-1998. The performance won him a Daytime Emmy in 1996 and led to other memorable parts on All My Children, Port Charles and As the World Turns.
Keating's other TV roles include Sex and the City, Xena and Alias, as well as films like The Bodyguard, The Thomas Crown Affair and Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo.
Keating is survived by his wife, Mary, and their two sons.
