'Cocoon' star dead at age 85
Cancer claims life of Don Ameche
The Associated Press
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Don
Ameche, the dashing leading man
of the 1930s and '40s who won his
only Oscar for his portrayal of an
elderly swinger in the movie "Co
coon," died of cancer at age 85.
Ameche worked until the end,
rushing to finish his work in
"Corrina, Corrina/' a family dra
ma starring Whoopi Goldberg and
Ray Liotta.
"We all knew that his health
was not good and that he was re
ally in the last scene of his life,"
said the movie's producer, Steve
Tisch. "In an ironic way he was
playing himself."
Ameche died Monday night at
the home of his son, Don Jr. He
was diagnosed with prostate can
cer about 13 months ago, but by
then it had spread throughout his
body, his son said.
Like the retirees in "Cocoon"
who drew vitality from aliens
stranded on Earth, Ameche's re
birth on the big screen was a
source of joy in his later years, the
Ameche appeared in such films
as; 'Cocoon', 'Trading Places',
'Harry and the Hendersons' and
'Coming to America.'
younger Ameche said Tuesday.
"He would say to me, 'Isn't
this incredible,' " Don Jr. said.
"He loved it. He always was just
amazed by it."
When he received an Academy
Award at age 79 in 1986, as best
supporting actor, he remarked:
"For all you members of the acad
emy, this esteemed gentleman
(the Oscar) says that you have giv
en me your recognition. You've
given to me your love; I hope that
I have earned your respect."
Already a radio star in the ear
ly 1930s, Ameche made a smooth
transition to films, beginning with
"Sins of Man" in 1936. During 12
years at 20th Century Fox, he ap
peared in musicals, comedies and
biographical dramas, most no
tably "The Story of Alexander
Graham Bell."
Though Ameche's film career
faded, he remained active in tele
vision and theater until he was
cast as an avaricious businessman
in the Eddie Murphy-Dan
Aykroyd comedy "Trading
Places" in 1983.
"Cocoon" followed in 1985
and he appeared in three 1988
movies, "Cocoon II: The Re
turn," "Coming to America" and
"Things Change." He also if
peared in "Harry and theft
dersons" and "Oscar."
In "Corrina, Corrina,” sel
the 1950s, Ameche plays the:
ther of a man struggling toci
to terms with the death of
wife and his growing relatii
ship with a black housekeepei
hires to care for his yo®
daughter. Ameche's characi*
dies offscreen.
Ameche lived in his ownhis!
near Don Jr. until 3 weeksaj
when he moved in with hiss
and his son's wife, Carol.
Born Dominic Felix Amici
Kenosha, Wis., on May 31,
an Italian immigrant fatheram
Irish-Cerman mother, Ameci
discovered a passion for act
the University of Wisconsin.
Ameche married his childk
sweetheart, Honore Prendergs
in 1932, and they had fours®
and two daughters. Mrs. Ameci
ilied several years ago.
He was to be cremated and
memorial Mass was scheduled!
Monday in Scottsdale.
