The announcement that American actor Steve Forrest died on May 18, 2013, at age 87, put me in mind of his long-ago British TV series, "The Baron." In it, Forrest played John Mannering, an antiques dealer who is also a sometime undercover agent "working in an informal capacity for the head of the fictional British Diplomatic Intelligence ..." "The Baron" ran for only 30 episodes, from 1966 to 1967. R.I.P., Steve Forrest.
