RIP: Robert Hegyes, best remembered for his role as Epstein on the 1970’s sitcom Welcome Back, Kotter, passed away today in a New Jersey hospital near his home.

He was 60.

Hegyes, who had been in poor health for some time, developed chest pains this morning and was rushed to the emergency room at JFK Medical Center in Edison. On the way, Hegyes went into full cardiac arrest. He was pronounced dead shortly thereafter.

Born to a Hungarian-American father and an Italian-American mother, Hegyes was raised in Metuchen, which he continued to call home throughout his life.

Getting his first big break starring in the off-Broadway play Naomi Court, it wasn’t long after that he was cast in the role that came to define his career — Sweathog Juan Luis Pedro Phillipo de Huevos Epstein.

After Kotter, Hegyes made several one-off appearances on several TV shows, and later earned a recurring role on CBS’s Cagney & Lacey as Det. Manny Esposito.

He retired from acting, but remained actively involved in the craft, teaching courses and writing screenplays. Most recently, Hegyes expressed interest in directing, but his health problems kept him from realizing his ambition.

So Much For That of the Day: Disney’s Joy Division-inspired Mickey tee is no more.

Despite tickling band co-founder Peter Hook’s compliment bone, the company decided to yank the questionable homage after their cool uncle told them what Joy Division actually is.

“As soon as we became aware there could be an issue, we pulled it from our shelves and our online store to review the situation further,” a rep is quoted as saying.

Not to worry, there are plenty of kind souls on eBay who will be more than happy to part ways with this suddenly limited tee for a measly $202.50 and counting.
