NEW YORK (AP) — Cliff Robertson, the handsome movie actor who played John F. Kennedy in "PT-109," won an Oscar for "Charly" and was famously victimized in a 1977 Hollywood forgery scandal, died Saturday. He was 88.

His secretary of 53 years, Evelyn Christel, said he died in Stony Brook of natural causes a day after his 88th birthday.

Robertson never elevated into the top ranks of leading men, but he remained a popular actor from the mid-1950s into the following century. His later roles included kindly Uncle Ben in the "Spider-Man" movies.

TBS on cable had just shown "PT-109" the night before his death was announced. He was a great actor and would be missed.

I always enjoyed his work and he WAS a convincing uncle in Spiderman. His best was PT 109....Even Kennedy himself approved that one.

His best role for me was the Canadian Major in Devil's Brigade.

Yes Matt!! Major Crown!! That movie in itself was the best.
