Ben Cross~ ⚰

 The star of Chariots of Fire, who also appeared in 2009's Star Trek, died Tuesday after a short illness. He was 72.

His daughter, Lauren Cross, told the Associated Press her father passed away at his home in Vienna, Austria.

He started in a remake/reboot of Dark Shadows in the early 90’s that I simply adored. The following is from his co-star Johanna Going:

“ I am filled with sadness to learn of the passing of Ben Cross. It was an absolute dream to play opposite him in Dark Shadows. He was elegant, funny, enormously generous to me as a young actress and he will always have a special place in my heart.”
