TV's Lovely Ladies
Check out the women that keep us tuning in.
Prolific character actor of film and TV best known for playing endearing if outspoken grumps and perversely likeable cads and schemers. Something in the cadence of Coleman's Texan drawl simultaneously suggests folksiness and moral laxity. Though handsome, his beady eyes tend to glint with mean inspiration and his mustache often frames a leer. Coleman's memorable film roles include the villainous boss in "9 to 5" (1980), the pompous director in "Tootsie" (1982), and the sympathetic role of Jane Fonda's boyfriend in "On Golden Pond" (1981). On TV, he is best known as the ne'er-do-well
