Stuart Margolin, best known for his Emmy-winning role on “The Rockford Files,” died Monday at 82 of natural causes, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Margolin, one of the busiest character actors of his era, appeared in episodes of “Love, American Style,” “The Partridge Family” and “The Mary Tyler Moore Show.”
The actor got the role of his career as Evelyn “Angel” Martin on “The Rockford Files.” Angel would help private investigator Jim Rockford, played by James Garner, by attaining information for cases while sometimes getting Rockford in hot water.
Margolin won Emmys in 1979 and 1980 for his work on the popular NBC show.

The Rockford Files episodes that had Angel were the best.

His character was something else. His endless con schemes still crack me up.
Rest in peace, Angel.

S.O.B. is one of Blake Edwards' most underrated films, and Margolin has one of many of the films' many amazing performances.

I first remember Margolin as part of the comedy troupe that did the vingnettes on "Love American Style".
And my singular favorite episode of MASH is his Dr. Robbins on the search for the barracuda. So many great lines. He walks by Radar and says, "I can save that face". Margaret cracks him with a yardstick to try to stop an assault and he says, "I knew I could count on you!" - all delivered with his Margolin smirk.
Just his appearance on a screen would make me laugh. RIP

I am surprised S.O.B. never got an elevated level of esteem in retrospect.

Stuart Margolin on the Gilbert Gottfried podcast
It's a bit disappointing in that he doesn't go into detail on Rockford (aside from saying Garner was a nice guy).
This interview was the first I learned of SM's involvement in the L.A. music scene of the late '60s. Presumably that would explain his presence at Monterey.

I refuse to watch an episode of Rockford if Angel is not in it.

He also played Aimes Jainchill, the Arizona landowner/developer who took Paul Kersey (Charles Bronson) to a shooting range (and gave him a gun as a thank you present) in the original Death Wish.
