George Hamilton (actor)

During 1966, Hamilton met first daughter Lynda Bird, beginning a romance. He is survived by his partner, Sean Blue. George Hamilton (born August 12, 1939) is an American film and television actor, probably better known for his perpetual tan than for his performance accomplishments. Besides acting in many movies, ranging from 1952 to the present, he also directed some movies. As of 2004 the cause of death has yet to be determined. He had been thought to be in good health, but was found dead in his home in Los Angeles, California. When he was diagnosed with HIV, he discussed it openly at a time when there was still much unreasoned fear about the disease.

He was open about his troubles with drug and alcohol addiction, and for a time decided to retire from entertainment, but was eventually enticed back with roles on television and in movies. His woebegone look, extreme flexibility and high energy led Tommy Tune to cast him in the Off-Broadway Cloud 9 and, on Broadway, in a memorable role in the musical Grand Hotel, for which he won a Tony Award in 1990. He pursued his initial stage career in Baltimore, Maryland, as he had heard it was hard to get work in New York without an equity card. Born in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee, Jeter was a student at Memphis State University when his interests changed from medicine to acting.
