Stuart Whitman was awarded a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 7083 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, California on February 1, 1998. Whitman had a 50-year career in Hollywood, and was a major star for more than a decade in the late 1950s and through the 1960s. He invested wisely, and by the time he retired he had amassed a fortune of $100 million. And for all of the entertainment he gave us, he deserved every penny. Thanks, Stuart.
Surprised Bob didn't post this one, which was one of those childhood movies I remembered but couldn't find a decent copy of as an adult. THE MAN WHO WANTED TO LIVE FOREVER (1970 TVmovie AKA "The Only Way Out Is Dead" AKA "The Heart Farm." Had a scifi/thriller plot where the conclusion reminded me of THE LAST CHILD - a couple on the run who escape seemingly by passing a border (but not into Canada - they just outrun their pursuers).
Stuart Whitman was only one of three second native born San Franciscans (after Hugo Friedhofer and Clint Eastwood, who both won) to earn an Oscar nomination (for Best Actor) for "The Mark", but alas, lost to Maxmillian Schell in "Judgement At Nuremberg".
