sharegoood night sweet prince
shareA great actor. I was surprised to learn that he was married to Marianna Hill, who played the beautiful Helen Noel in an episode of Star Trek (TOS).
shareWow! she was a real knock out! So thats thats why she was called 'Hill' ..
shareIt may have been an incredible coincidence (being called Hill). I can't find a definitive source--current articles don't even mention her--one site says they married in 1977, well after she was using the name Hill. Apparently her mother's maiden name was Hill, and that may be where she chose her stage name. We'll have to wait until a more detailed obit is published.
shareThe mystery deepens--some obits say he is survived by Marianna, others say they were no longer married, some don't even mention her at all. Some say he had a fiancé named Alison at the time of his death.
share"I go to my fathers. And even in their mighty company I shall not now be ashamed."
Rest well, Bernard.
RIP. He will never be forgotten, thanks to Theoden, the character he portrayed in LOTR.
