Died. Fred Clark, 54, the bald, mustachioed comedian who made a career out of the slow burn; of hepatitis; in Santa Monica, Calif. After 13 years of bit parts, Clark considered it quite a break in 1951 when he was cast as the irascible neighbor on CBS's "George Burns and Gracie Allen" show, played variations on that theme in numerous movies (Auntie Mame, Move Over Darling), reaching an apex of apoplexy as the feckless Navy lieutenant commander in Don't Go Near the Water. Clark oc- casionally despaired of his image, but admitted: "It's a losing battle which I don't regret. I've made a handsome living out of that role."
