______________________________________

Dewey Martin, the last surviving cast member from THE THING, died back on April 4th at the age 94. Tom Weaver posted an announcement on Wednesday (8/22/18) about this on the Classic Horror Film Board.

Dewey was married to singer Peggy Lee from '56 to '59.

(That's Dewey on the far left. Peggy Lee is in the middle, doing her remarkable Kenneth Toby impersonation.) Cool

Dewey was also one of the leads in the wonderful western The Big Sky along with Kirk Douglas.

Sad news. And here's a photograph of a non-disguised Peggy Lee alongside her then-husband, Dewey Martin:
