Robert Hegyes of 'Welcome Back, Kotter' dies at 60
Robert Hegyes, the actor who played the multi-named, if not multi-talented Juan Luis Pedro Philippo DeHuevos Epstein on 1970s television hit ``Welcome Back, Kotter,'' has died at the age of 60.
Ron Palillo, who portrayed the goofy high school underachiever Arnold Horshack in the hit 1970s sitcom ``Welcome Back, Kotter'' with such definitive oddballness that he had trouble for years afterward finding work as an actor, died on Tuesday in West Palm Beach, Fla. He was 63.
