1912 Richard Carlson - Actor (I Led Three Lives, MacKenzie's Raiders, Creature from the Black Lagoon, The Doomsday Flight, Tormented, Hold That Ghost, It Came from Outer Space, The Ghost Breakers, King Solomon’s Mines, No No Nanette) He was in the Perry Mason episodes The Case of the Avenging Angel and The Case of the Tragic Trophy
I think he was in every B movie made on the 1950s.
I have an autographed picture of Ben Chapman in costume as The Creature.
1980 Sir Alfred Hitchcock, age 80 - British film director
A sad day. Probably the best suspense director of all time.
