(CNN) -- Actor Ron Palillo, who played class clown Arnold Horshack on the 1970s television comedy "Welcome Back, Kotter," has died at age 63, his agent said Tuesday.
Palillo died of a heart attack in the Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, area, where he had moved to live near his mother and was active in the theater, his agent, Scott Stander, told CNN.
Another Sweathog bites the dust....
Rest in peace, Ron.
First Epstein, now Horshack. :(
RIP :(
For being such a dorky show (in retrospect) it sure seems iconic.
RIP and thanks for the entertainment.
RIP Horshack :-[
As a side note, when I watched the show as a kid I always though Mrs Kotter (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Marcia_Strassman_1975.JPG) was kinda hot....
:( One of those classic shows that had a lasting impact on popular culture!

She was more than just
kinda hot, IMHO!
I have to admit, I had a crush on Mrs. Kotter as well. But I really had the hots for Pinky Tuscadero.
Who didn't !

Oh yeah. She can jump my shark, any day.
Don't forget her little sister, Leather Tuscadero (Suzy Quatro):

Who played Mrs. Kotter? BTW Welcome Back Kotter was set at my rival high school...Lafayette High School. I went to Lincoln. Yeah no one asked but I wanted to state that anyway.

Marcia Strassman (sp?). See my post further up. There's a link to her from 1975...so Did Lincoln have their version of the Sweathogs? Were you Lincoln's Vinnie? ;D
My junior high school and high school friends are my closest friends to this day, 25 years later! Out of the bunch I am most definitely Horshack. Maybe with a dash of Epstein.
