John Richardson passed away January 5, 2021.
John Richardson is also dead now sadly died in January.
Haya Harareet, John Richardson and Christopher Plummer are all deceased and ought to be removed from this list.
Recent passing of Haya Harareet, last surviving main cast member of "Ben-Hur" made me think of "The Robe" (1953) and its last surviving cast adult actor - Betta St. John, born 11-26-1929, began acting as a child, also on Broadway, films include "Jane Eyre", "The Student Prince", Tarzan flicks, more.
Lisa Lu (01-19-1927) - The Joy Luck Club, Crazy Rich Asians.
Laurence Luckinbill (11-21-1934), original Hank in stage/screen version "The Boys In The Band", Star Trek film, much quality TV guest spots, married Lucie Arnaz.
Joe Turkel (07/15/27) - Kubrick regular (The Killing, Paths of Glory, The Shining) and Dr. Tyrell in Blade Runner is still with us!
Henry Darrow died 3/14/2021.
Akira Takarada (4-29-1934), North Korean born veteran of almost 10 Godzilla movies, a King Kong picture, other monsters, almost 150 credits, last one in 2019.
Gaby Rodgers (3-29-1928) much 1950s TV and only 2 films, but the second is classic Mickey Spillane "Kiss Me Deadly" - as the gun-toting "dame". Famous last words "Hello Mike, kiss me Mike, I want you to kiss me" before chaos ensues. That movie is really off the wall.
