LOS ANGELES (AP) - Actor Don Knotts, who kept generations of television audiences laughing as bumbling Deputy Barney Fife on "The Andy Griffith Show," has died. Knotts was 81. The Morgantown, West Virginia, native died Friday night of pulmonary and respiratory complications at a Los Angeles hospital. That's according to Paul Ward, who is a spokesman for the cable network TV Land, which airs "The Andy Griffith Show," and another Knotts hit, "Three's Company." The West Virginia-born actor's half-century career included seven TV series and more than 25 films, but it was the Griffith show that brought him TV immortality and five Emmies.
