NEW YORK (AP) - Good looks and a booming baritone were Harve Presnell's signatures. He died Tuesday of pancreatic cancer at age 75. Presnell starred in both the Broadway and movie versions of "The Unsinkable Molly Brown." He was Daddy Warbucks in "Annie" on tour, and then on Broadway. And, it was Harve Presnell who sang the classic number, "They Call the Wind Maria (muh-RY'-uh) in "Paint Your Wagon." Although he was best known for his roles in musical theater, Presnell also is remembered as William H. Macy's father-in-law in "Fargo."
