"" James Best, whose prolific career
included 83 movies and 600 TV shows
but is best remembered for portraying
Rosco P. Coltrane, the bumbling sheriff of
Hazzard County, died late Monday in
Hickory at age 88.
Best died in hospice after a brief illness of
complications from pneumonia, said Steve
Latshaw, a longtime friend and Hollywood
colleague. Best had fallen ill with
respiratory trouble on a cruise and never
