Edward Herrmann, a magisterial acting presence who made his mark in theatre, film and television, including a few memorable turns at Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and a Tony-winning performance in a 1976 revival of Shaw’s Mrs. Warren’s Profression, died Dec. 31 in Manhattan. The cause was brain cancer. He was 71.
