Former "Laugh In" writer and Emmy award winner Jack Hanrahan Dies Destitute
Jack Hanrahan wrote for some of the most popular television shows in the 1960s and 1970s, including "Get Smart," "Police Woman," "The Waltons" and "The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour."
In December of 2006, Hanrahan arrived in Cleveland from Californian by bus, penniless and disheveled, his tangled hair hanging to his shoulders and smoking self-rolled cigarettes.
All he had were the clothes on his back, a bag of tobacco and rolling papers. Even his false teeth were missing. And his Emmy was in hock.
Hanrahan tried to connect with relatives here, but his state of mind and needs were too much to handle, said a nephew. So Hanrahan lived on the streets
