John Gavin, the movie star who graced the big screen in “Psycho,” “Imitation of Life" and “Thoroughly Modern Millie” has died at age 86, Fox News confirmed Friday.
The tall, strikingly handsome entertainer had led a decades-long career in Hollywood. He won a Golden Globe for 1958’s “A Time to Love and a Time to Die,” appeared alongside blonde bombshell Lana Turner in 1959’s “Imitation of Life” and starred as Julius Caesar in 1960’s “Spartacus” with Kirk Douglas, among others.
He famously played Janet Leigh's divorced lover Sam Loomis in the 1960 Alfred Hitchcock thriller “Psycho.”
The Hollywood Reporter claimed Gavin was signed on to play James Bond in 1971’s “Diamonds Are Forever” before Sean Connery reclaimed the role of the suave superspy.
President Ronald Reagan appointed Gavin as Mexico's ambassador in 1981, a country he already had ties with.

I think “Thoroughly Modern Millie”, was really good (and funny). Mary Tyler Moore at her prime.

I liked him in 'Midnight Lace' with Doris Day.
'Midnight Lace' was one of the few dramas that Doris was in. Her movies were mostly all 'romantic comedies'. She was very good in this one. (Nobody can out-cry Doris Day)

He was one handsome man- I'll say that for him.They just don't make male movie stars like that anymore. Brad Pitt? Johnny Dep? Yuk

Doris is up in her 90's now. I'll cry when she leaves us. She is truly an American icon...a treasure.

I saw it on the internet some years ago. I think it’s real. Looks to be related to the movie in the ad. There are some wacky things that have happened out there in the 1950s. :)
