Sorry, I swear I used the Search tool to look for a thread of his own first before posting here. But I guess I must have misread it or put in the wrong parameters because I didn't see one.

Unconfirmed reports 1970s / 80s actor Ty Henderson, whose credits included recurring roles on 'Room 222' & 'Madame's Place' and a co-starring role in the short-lived 'Space Academy' opposite Lost In Space's Jonathan Harris, has died at age 71.  Another 'Space Academy' co-star, Pamelyn Ferdin, has posted this on her Facebook.  IMDB lists him as being born September 1, 1946, which would make him a year younger than she indicates.

So I just read that my former suggestion Kate Murtagh ("Woman on the front cover of Supertramp's Made in America") lives in a special care home for old and frail Hollywood actors/actresses, the "Motion Picture & Television House and Hospital":

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_Picture_%26_Television_Country_House_and_Hospital

 

Thankfully, the wikipedia article also has a list of current notable residents, including:

 

Spade Cooley favourite Glynis Johns

Helen "I am woman" Reddy

"Airwolf" and occasional deadpooling pick Jan-Michael Vincent

The indestructible Mary Carlisle

....and other lesser names

 

Among the former inhabitants were Connie Sawyer, Johnnie "Tarzan" Weissmueller, DeForest "Bones" Kelley, the just deceased Anne Coates, and apparently Zsa Zsa Gabor... (?)

DDP pick Kate Murtagh died in September 2017, according to this: http://digital.copcomm.com/i/1012073-summer-2018/51?m4

Great find!

 

But shame for the non-obit.

Someone of us might write to the BBC and this time, it might actually succeed.

[Sir Creep 7,013]

Not from September 2017 it won't.  Again, shame.

I recently saw the documentary, Won't You Be My Neighbor, and I'm trying to remember if she appeared in it either as an interviewee or in stock footage.

I saw it about a month ago.  If she was in it, she wasn't explicitly acknowledged and wasn't among those interviewed.  She also doesn't have a credit in the IMDB for it.

At 90, she's the anti Alan King: "Survivors include her husband, Ron".  Wasn't her first marriage -- wonder if she was a cougar?  I'm putting money down she was.
