“We regret to report that actor John Richardson has passed away this week, just two weeks from his 87th birthday,” the Cinema Retro portal reported in an official statement.
“John fought dinosaurs and vampires on screen, but it was the true horror of COVID that took from us one of the true gentlemen of cinema whose love for life was obvious by the sparkle in his famous blue eyes,” reza the poignant message.
Born in January 1934, throughout his prolific film career Richardson starred in iconic films such as One Million Years B.C. —A million years ago in Spain and One million years BC in Mexico-, The mask of the demon, She u On a Clear Day You Can See Forever (titled Come back to my side, in Spanish), among others. In addition, he did tests for the role of Agent 007 in the sixth installment of the James Bond saga, 007 at the service of his Majesty, after Sean Connery turned down the role. Finally, it was the Australian model and actor George Lazenby who played the mythical British spy.
