    Saw there was some discussion of this guy in this thread in 2020. He died earlier this year: https://www.dispatch.com/obituaries/b0059537

    Several tweets reporting the death of Clu Gulager at 93. No obituaries out that I can see, but looks true.

    Dying Off The Radar

    Most of the aggregates out there didn't notice his death, but MyLife did: "Rudy M Challenger, 83 Born: 10/02/1928 Passed: 08/22/2012 Van Nuys, CA"

    Dying Off The Radar

    Rudy Challenger, an actor known for his roles in blaxploitation movies and bit parts on sitcoms, looks to have died without much fanfare in 2012. His granddaughter tweeted about it last year, and he made it onto the Tonys In Memoriam list, but other than that, nothing. No mention on his IMDb or Wikipedia page (though I've submitted an update to the former based on public records). Has two mentions on this site, one of which was a pool selection this year.

    George E. Marshall died in Ojai, California on August 27, 2013. Mildly surprising IMDb missed it, given there's an online obituary with the same DOB: https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/ventura-ca/george-marshall-5648866 Helene Marshall died around summer 2015 under her maiden name. Can't track her down in any public records, but this showed up in the Beverly Hills Weekly:

    Died off radar shortly before turning 94. Looks like a few sites got the memo (she's marked as deceased on radaris, etc.) Another case of someone dying completely unnoticed with no visible online obituary, despite having a sibling who got one: https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/heraldtribune/name/grant-beardsley-obituary

    Wally Campo was probably born in 1923, not 1921. In a 1943 article from the College of the Pacific, a thespian named "Wally Campodonico" gets a fleeting mention. Given that the book "The Story of American International Pictures" gives Campo as majoring in drama there, it seems likely that's him. There's a "Wallace J. Campodonico" in the CA birth records born on April 23, 1923 in Alameda County, and per public records, he resides today as a 99-year-old in Valley Village/North Hollywood in LA. The IMDB date appears to have been plucked from a guy named "Walter Campo" who can indeed be found with that DOB in the CA birth records, but the college mention of "Campodonico" make it highly unlikely the actor was born with that last name, and I don't see any records for a Walter Campo who appears to live today.
