Morgus creator and star Sid Noel dies - a look back at his career

Sidney Noel Rideau, who created and starred as the mad scientist Morgus the Magnificent for more than 60 years, becoming a New Orleans icon, has died of natural causes, according to his daughter Natalie Rideau. He was 90. Rideau, who went by the stage name Sid Noel, created the mad scientist, Dr. Momus Alexander Morgus, in 1959 on WWL-TV Channel 4 and went on to become a local institution. He would present his televised science experiments in between segments of horror movies. The show would be revived in later years on WDSU, WGNO and in national syndication. It also later aired in reruns on WVUE and Cox Cable.
