Charles Lane, a character actor who first appeared in films in 1931 and eventually made more than 300 movies and TV shows, died Monday in Santa Monica, CA at age 102. He had roles in such classics as It's a Wonderful Life, Arsenic and Old Lace, Call Northside 777, You Can't Take It With You, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, and Mr. Deeds Goes to Town. He made frequent appearances in different roles on the I Love Lucy TV show, including the episode that drew virtually the entire nation -- when Lucy gave birth to a boy. (He played the role of the expectant father waiting with Ricky in the hospital waiting room.) Lane remained active until the end. His final credit was as narrator of last year's The Night Before Christmas. He reportedly is the subject of an unfinished documentary, You Know the Face.
