Don Murray, Oscar-Nommed for His ‘Bus Stop’ Role Opposite Marilyn Monroe, Dies at 94
Don Murray, who received an Oscar nomination for his performance opposite Marilyn Monroe in the 1956 film adaptation of "Bus Stop," has died. He was 94.
In the Delbert Mann-directed “The Bachelor Party” (1957), scripted by Paddy Chayefsky, Murray played a young husband who learns that his wife is going to have a baby, then must go out with a group of friends from the office for the title celebration for one of the boys. The next year Murray starred in two fine, CinemaScope-shot Westerns, “From Hell to Texas,” directed by Henry Hathaway, and Richard Fleischer’s “These Thousand Hills”; the actor also appeared with a fiery James Cagney in Michael Anderson’s political drama “Shake Hands With the Devil,” about the moral complexities of the 1921 Irish Rebellion. The actor made his television debut in the early days of the medium, playing Biondello in an adaptation of “The Taming of the Shrew” for “Studio One in Hollywood” that starred Charlton Heston and Lisa Kirk.
