John Lawlor, an actor who had made a string of guest shots on various mid-’70s TV series before landing a regular role in 1976 on Cloris Leachman’s The Mary Tyler Moore Show spin-off Phyllis on CBS and just more than a decade later played Headmaster Bradley on NBC’s popular sitcom The Facts of Life, died February 13 at a veterans’ hospice facility in Albuquerque. He was 83.

A U.S. Army veteran with service in Vietman, Lawlor launched his television career with with mid-’70s roles on The Rockford Files, Ellery Queen and Black Sheep Cauldron, among others, before landing the role of politician Leonard Marsh for the second and final season of Phyllis (1976–1977).
