Poetic Obituaries: [Roberts] Blossom was also a poet,

whose works were published in several books.

"He wrote every day for 60 years," his daughter said. "I always say about him: He's a poet who made a living as an actor. His poetry was all pretty much about his philosophy: How can humans come together and unite?"

That's reflected in the 2000 documentary "Full Blossom: The Life of Poet/Actor Roberts Blossom," directed by James Brih Abee.
