WILLIAMSBURG, Va. - Henderson Forsythe, a Tony Award-winning character actor who played the sheriff in "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" and spent 31 years on the soap opera "As the World Turns," has died. He was 88.

Forsythe, who died Monday, won the Tony Award for outstanding featured actor in a musical in 1979 for his portrayal of Ed Earl Dodd, the profane sheriff in "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas." He later reprised the role in London and was nominated there for actor of the year in a musical.

Forsythe played Dr. David Stewart on "As the World Turns" from 1960 to 1991. In a 1979 interview with The Associated Press, he said he didn't consider soap opera acting to be beneath him.

He had roles in movies, including "Silkwood" in 1983 and "End of the Line" in 1988. On the small screen, he appeared in episodes of "Law & Order" and "Eisenhower and Lutz" and played Col. Harland Sanders in commercials for KFC restaurants.

But Forsythe's love was theater. He also had roles in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?," "A Delicate Balance," "The Texas Trilogy" and "The Birthday Party."

Forsythe was born Sept. 11, 1917, in Macon, Mo. He earned his undergraduate degree at the University of Iowa, where he appeared in many productions and was a classmate of Tennessee Williams. The university said he was the first person to earn a master's in fine arts from its theater department.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. - Robert Wegman, a pioneer of one-stop shopping who transformed his family's business into one of the nation's largest private companies, has died. He was 87.

Wegman, who died Thursday, took over as president of the 90-year-old business begun by his father and uncle in 1950 and over decades introduced private-label products and laser scanning at the checkout.

He was behind the "Shoppers Club" electronic discount program and Wegmans' "Strive for 5" program offering recipes with nutritional analyses that emphasized fresh vegetables and fruits.

He is credited with pioneering one-stop shopping, placing bakeries, imported foods and cafes into huge stores, along with photo labs, video departments and child play centers.

The company's employee scholarships, high-end wages and health insurance program have landed Wegmans on Fortune magazine's list of the "100 Best Companies to Work For" for nine straight years.

LOS ANGELES - Elaine Young, the real estate agent to the stars who bought and sold so many celebrity properties that she became a celebrity herself, has died of cancer, according to family members. She was 71.

Young died Thursday. Glamorous and ebullient, she lived a life that rivaled those of her star clients, who included Elvis Presley, Elizabeth Taylor, Warren Beatty, Burt Reynolds, Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand and Stevie Wonder.

In the 1970s she did what many Hollywood stars were doing, sought to improve her appearance through cosmetic surgery. It was the beginning of a horror story that would haunt her for the rest of her life.

As she told it many times in interviews warning others about the pitfalls of such operations, she was maimed by a doctor who injected loose silicone into her face to accentuate her cheekbones. After a time, the silicone began to migrate, causing eye problems and disfigurement.

Young's soft voice and gentle manner belied her flossy image, and famous clients were drawn to her. Indeed, she was one of them, born and raised in the realm of Hollywood fantasy.

The slogan Young placed on her Web site might well serve as her epitaph: "If you want to live in heaven, acquire a home or condo from Elaine Young."
