— Richard Dawson, 79, a British-born entertainer who made his mark in the unlikely 1960s television sitcom “Hogan’s Heroes,” which mined laughs from a Nazi POW camp whose prisoners hoodwink their captors and run the place themselves and who later became a popular TV game show host, in Los Angeles of complications related to esophageal cancer.
