George Peppard

Peppard died on May 8, 1994, at the age of 66 in Los Angeles due to complications in the treatment of the cancer he was suffering from. His autobiography, titled My Life, was published in 1994. He was a recovering alcoholic, who spent his later years trying to help others in the same situation. In early 2000, he created and toured Burt Reynolds' One Man Show. The "A-Team" star was diagnosed with lung cancer in 1992, and had part of a lung removed. Reynolds started a comeback with the movie Striptease (1996), and the critically acclaimed Boogie Nights (1997) put his career back on track. Married 5 times, and the father of three children, Peppard's second wife was actress Elizabeth Ashley, his co-star in "The Carpetbaggers". The bad press from his divorce caused Reynolds' already slowing career to nosedive and he had to declare bankruptcy in late 1996.

Before the A-Team, Peppard had the leading role in the TV series Banacek (1972 - 1974), (part of the NBC Mystery Movie series of the 1970s), and played in Doctor's Hospital, in 1975, and in several other television films, which became in the later part of his career his major dedication. The divorce from Loni Anderson became a highly publicized, bitter feud. He attended Purdue University, Carnegie Mellon University, and The Actor's Studio, where one of his classmates was Rip Torn. Reynolds was married to actress Judy Carne from 1963 - 1965 and actress Loni Anderson from 1988 - 1993 and had relationships with other actresses such as Sally Field and Dinah Shore. He graduated from Dearborn High School in Dearborn, Michigan. Reynolds has also directed a few movies, the best-known being Sharky's Machine, released in 1981.
