Dean Stockwell, R.I.P. (1936-2021)

From Daniel Victor's 11-9-21 NEW YORK TIMES obit for Dean Stockwell:

Dean Stockwell, who began his seven-decade acting career as a child in the 1940s and later had key roles in films including “A Long Day’s Journey Into Night” in 1962 and “Blue Velvet” in 1986, while also making his mark in television, most notably as the cigar-smoking Al Calavicci on the hit science fiction series “Quantum Leap,” died on Sunday. He was 85.

His death was confirmed by Jay Schwartz, a family spokesman, who did not say where Mr. Stockwell died or specify a cause.

In honor of Stockwell's passing, I suggest watching him perform the infamous "Rite to Summon Yog-Sothoth" in Daniel Haller's THE DUNWICH HORROR. This 1970 film was based on H.P. Lovecraft's 1929 novella of the same name.
