back to the studios in Los Feliz back in 1983. I was living in LA at
the time and the shooting occurred about a block from my house. The
rumor was that he was shot by the estranged husband of the woman who was
riding in the car with him at the time. I think she was a makeup
artist. She and Dunphy were allegedly having an affair.

That's what I keep hearing and reading, but Jim Brooks (who created theI'm not sure I'd go far enough to call Jerry Dunphy "the greatest

character) worked in the CBS Radio newsroom ca. 1960 as a desk
assistant, and he's said he modeled Baxter after an anchor named Reid
Collins and a studio announcer, Roger Forster. I knew both of these
guys -- they were still working there in the early '80s -- and, if
anything, Roger's hair was even more Baxterian than Baxter's. It was
so white than it could almost have served as a light source. Note that
Baxter, as originally conceived (and as you see him in the pilot), was
smart, flinty and irritable, which would be spot-on Collins. Collins
was not the cartoony goofball Baxter soon became. If you wanted to
piss off Collins (and you would not want to, but if you did) then
mention Ted Baxter.
I think Kent Brockman must have been derived from Dunphy, though.
