Some actors just exude a humanity that touches. Harold Gould was one of those actors. Like many, I knew Harold mainly from his stint as Rose's boyfriend Miles but Gould had a career way beyond
The Golden Girls. Gould played Valerie Harper's father on television's
Rhoda, the con man Kid Twist in the 1973 movie
The Sting, as well as films like
Harper, Love and Death, Freaky Friday and
Patch Adams. Gould was also a fixture on television in projects such as
Mrs. Delafield Wants To Marry (with Katharine Hepburn below),
Soap and most recently
Nip/Tuck. Gould is survived by his wife of 60 years, Lea; his children, Deborah Gould Harris, Joshua Gould and Lowell Gould; and five grandchildren
