Actor James Farentino
Entertainment Trade magazine, Variety has reported that storied actor, James Farentino, has died at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles. Details to come.
A prolific actor, Farentino had a troubled personal life.
Late in his career, Farentino said,
"There are people in this business that for years said, 'He's an alcoholic. He's a drunk. He stalked Tina.' And the clamps were put on me in many ways. Unless you're making big box office, they're going to kill you. And that's OK because one thing they can't take away from me is whatever talent I feel I have, that people feel I have.
"I've got a resume that could choke a horse. I'm impressed by it. Producers who are casting people, they're all in their 20s now. You show it to somebody in the motion picture industry or television, they don't know and they don't care."
James Farentino in Alfred Hitchcock's Death Scene show's the actor's skill.
In 1994 Farentino pleaded no contest to stalking his ex-girlfriend, Tina Sinatra.
Farentino is survived by his fourth wife, Stella, and two sons, David and Saverio.
