From Mayberry to Matlock, Andy Griffith Remembered for Iconic Roles

Actor Andy Griffith, who played a widowed sheriff in the Andy Griffith show and a cagey Southern lawyer in Matlock, died Tuesday at his home. He was 86. These shows were only a small part of a career that spanned 50-years and included a Grammy award and a Presidential Medal of Freedom.
