Patrick McGoohan – the man who defied authoritarianism and stood steadfastly for the importance of the individual in the classic TV Series “The Prisoner” – is dead. McGoohan was 80 years old and leaves behind his wife of 57 years, 3 daughters, several grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

And, just like his character in “The Prisoner,” he always refused to be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed, or numbered. He was a free man. And he will be sorely missed.

A young and dashing Patrick McGoohan

  1. Man, no doubt about it, McGoohan was one of a kind. I need to go back and watch The Prisoner again – it’s been years, and I never did get all the way through it.
