SHORT TAKES : Peter Boyle Fair After Stroke
Peter Boyle, who played a hippie-hating hard hat in “Joe” and the monster in “Young Frankenstein,” was listed in fair condition today after apparently suffering a mild stroke.
Boyle, 54, was hospitalized Sunday after experiencing mild weakness and a headache, said nursing supervisor Charlene Barrett of University of Utah Health Sciences Center.
“He’s awake and has been watching football on TV,” she said.
Boyle, nominated for a 1989 Emmy for the TV series “Midnight Caller,” was in Utah to work on an unidentified film.
His film credits also include “Taxi Driver,” “F.I.S.T.” and “The Dream Team.”
