Junior Durkin

Durkin was interred in the Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Los Angeles, California. He has also recently appeared on the BBC's Top Gear programme in which he launched a Suzuki Liana airborne off the final corner. The final corner has now been named 'Gambon' after this feat. Coogan was the only survivor of the accident. He was last seen as the successor of Richard Harris playing Albus Dumbledore in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004). In 1935 he was travelling with his friend, the actor Jackie Coogan, and three other people including Coogan's father, when their vehicle was involved in a road accident in San Diego, California. In recent years, films such as Dancing at Lughnasa (1998) and Plunkett and Macleane (1989), as well as television appearances in series such as Wives and Daughters (1999) (for which he won another BAFTA), a made for TV adaption of Beckett's Endgame (2001) and Perfect Strangers (2001), have made him one of Britain's most sought-after actors, as well as revealing his talent for comedy. RKO began grooming him for a transition into more adult roles, and in his final film Chasing Yesterday (1935), he was billed as Trent Durkin. Even after this success, for which he won a BAFTA award, his career was patchy, with big hits such as the 1989 film, The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover interspersed with less notable work.

He achieved another success in Hell's House (1932). However, his craggy looks soon made him into a character actor, and it was not until Dennis Potter's The Singing Detective (1986) that he became a household name. Under contract with RKO Studios he was cast in a series of "B" films in comedic roles that capitalized on his gangly appearance. In his youth, Gambon played romantic leads, notably in the early 1970s BBC television series, The Borderers, in which he was swashbuckling Gavin Ker. He entered films in 1930, and played the role of Huckleberry Finn in Tom Sawyer (1930), and Huckleberry Finn (1931). Sir Michael Gambon (born October 19, 1940) is one of Britain's foremost actors, knighted for his services to the theatre - despite having been born in Dublin, Ireland. Born Trent Bernard Durkin in New York, New York, Durkin began his acting career in theater while a child.
