George Maharis, the actor who became a household name of American youth in the 1960s for his role as Buz Murdock in the hit television show “Route 66,” has died. He passed away at his home in Beverly Hills, California, at the age of 94. “Route 66” was a rare show at the time as it was filmed on location, moving to new towns and cities for each episode. However, the more famous tune, “(Get Your Kicks On) Route 66,” was not connected to the show. Maharis left “Route 66” after the third season, but it continued for one more season without him.
