LOS ANGELES – John Forsythe, the handsome, smooth-voiced actor who made his fortune as the scheming oil tycoon in TV's "Dynasty" and the voice of the leader of "Charlie's Angels" has died after a yearlong battle with cancer. He was 92.

Forsythe died late Thursday at his home in Santa Ynez from complications of pneumonia, publicist Harlan Boll said Friday.

"He died as he lived his life, with dignity and grace," daughter Brooke Forsythe said.

6. R.I.P.

Just heard it on the radio. What a last couple weeks with all the classic actors who have passed. Was surprised (but maybe not so...) at his age.

9. So sad...he already has a huge fan in the beyond...

My mother adored John Forsythe. It was always very smile-inducing when she would get that little sparkly smile when Dynasty came on TV.

Dignity and grace..a wonderful legacy!

12. Always seemed to comport himself as a Carolina Gentleman

Old school here in Chapel Hill.

More dignified than fellow UNC student from roughly the same period, Jack Palance.

Each came to Carolina on athletic scholarships, as did Paul Wellstone.
