    Alan Young, the Affable Owner on 'Mister Ed,' Dies at 96

    Alan Young, a comedian and veteran supporting actor who found wide fame as an unlikely sort of second fiddle — the hapless straight man to a talking horse in the 1960s sitcom "Mister Ed" — died on Thursday in Woodland Hills, Calif. He was 96.

    His publicist, Jaime Larkin, said he died at the Motion Picture & Television Home, where he had been living for four years.

    Mr. Young had been a popular radio and television personality and had appeared in several films, including "Tom Thumb" (1958) and "The Time Machine" (1960), when, in his early 40s, he landed the role of Wilbur Post, the bumbling, well-meaning architect who owned a loquacious, fun-loving horse named Mr. Ed.

    "Mister Ed" became a hit, running from 1961 to 1966 on CBS. The episodes usually revolved around Wilbur's clumsy attempts to undo Ed's mischief, situations made more difficult by the fact that Ed would speak only to Wilbur...
