Oscar-nominated actor Stuart Whitman dead at 92
NEW YORK (AP) — Stuart Whitman, a prolific lead and character actor who appeared in hundreds of film and television productions and received an Oscar nomination as a pedophile in the 1961 drama “The Mark,” has died.
Whitman died Monday in Montecito, California, at age 92. Son Justin Whitman said that he died of natural causes.
Dark-haired and rugged, with enough of a resemblance to Clark Gable that he was sometimes compared to the “Gone With the Wind” star, Whitman was a steady presence in Westerns, war movies and other action films. His credits included “The Longest Day,” “Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines,” “The Sound and the Fury” and “Ten North Frederick.” On television, he starred in the brief-lived series “Cimarron Strip” and also worked on “Murder, She Wrote,” “The Streets of San Francisco” and “The F.B.I.”
I liked him in 'The Comancheros' with The Duke!

Al Worden, Jackson astronaut who flew to the moon, dies at 88
Colonel Worden was the first human to walk in space beyond Earth orbit, something that only 3 people have done to this day. While his crewmates landed and explored a spectacular mountain front and nearby lunar canyon, Al Worden conducted a nearly week long investigation of his own in lunar orbit.
Jim Irwin, the flight's lunar module pilot, was the first of the 12 Moonwalkers to die in 1991. Dave Scott, the mission commander, is now the sole surviving member of the crew, one of only four surviving Moonwalkers, and the last living human who has landed a spacecraft on another world.
Godspeed Colonel.....

I always found it funny that Speilberg told her to really slap Roy Scheider to get an authentic reaction from him.
