Actor Julian Beck was born 101 years ago today. You may remember him best as the hypnotically soft spoken and unblinking ghost of Reverend Henry Kane in Poltergeist 2.
He sadly passed away at the age of 60 just after the film wrapped.
Many people believe his death among others is part of a curse attached to those films. And though I personally don't believe it, it is hard to ignore the death of the 3 cast members that passed within the 6 years of production of the 3 Poltergeist movies.
What do you think?👻💀
