Screen star Robert Culp died yesterday aged 79 after hurting his head in a fall.
The square-jawed actor was best known for his double act with Bill Cosby in popular 60s TV show I Spy.
The pair played undercover agents, with Culp in the role of tennis star Kelly Robinson and Cosby as his trainer Alexander Scott.



Last night, Los Angeles police said Culp hit his head after collapsing while out walking and was pronounced dead on arrival at Queen of Angels hospital. A preliminary investigation found the death was accidental.
Father-of-four Culp's career spanned more than five decades. In films, he starred with Natalie Wood in Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice in 1969.
He played the President in The Pelican Brief in 1993.
