Actor Cameron Mitchell Dies At 75

Cameron Mitchell, veteran character actor perhaps best remembered for his role as Happy in both the stage and screen versions of “Death of a Salesman,” has died. He was 75.

Mitchell died of lung cancer Wednesday night at his home in Pacific Palisades.

Mitchell assumed many personalities over nearly four decades in more than 90 films and the television series “High Chaparral.” His films varied from Westerns to “Les Miserables” in 1952 to the lighter “How to Marry a Millionaire” in 1953 to the role of Jigger in “Carousel” in 1956.

Other films included “Outcasts of Poker Flat,” “Powder River,” “Garden of Evil,” “Desiree,” “Strange Lady in Town,” “Love Me or Leave Me,” “House of Bamboo,” and “All Mine to Give.”
