Orson Bean, 91, Actor Of Stage And Screen, Is Killed In L.A. While Crossing The Street To The Theatre
Bean was on his way to meet his wife, who was ushering the show at the Pacific Resident Theatre in LA, when he was hit by two cars while crossing the street. The theatre canceled its performance. Bean, a veteran actor-comedian, had just written a new play and was beginning rehearsals at the Ruskin Theatre Group in Santa Monica. “‘He was so full of life at 91,’ [producer Sara] Newman said, adding that he often greeted colleagues with a new joke — ‘usually raunchy’ — and always had kind words for them.” – Los Angeles Times
