Thanks for watching out for that coffee, Juan
Norman Rose, a veteran stage actor whose sonorous baritone gained him national attention as the voice of Juan Valdez, the fictitious coffee grower and advertising spokesman for Colombian coffee, died Nov. 12 at his home in Upper Nyack, N.Y. He was 87. Mr. Rose produced and acted off-Broadway, translated and dramatized foreign plays, appeared in movies and television, narrated modern ballet and television specials and recorded books for the blind. He was a co-founder of New Stages, an early off-Broadway repertory company, and more recently appeared in benefit readings at Symphony Space. Mr. Rose was born in Philadelphia and joined the Washington Civic Theater while attending George Washington University.
