Richard Caspar Sarafian (April 28, 1930 – September 18, 2013)

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Richard Sarafian, an influential film director whose
1971 countercultural car-chase thriller "Vanishing Point" brought him a
decades-long cult following, has died in Southern California, his son said
Saturday night.

Richard Sarafian reportedly died at a Santa Monica hospital on Wednesday
of pneumonia contracted while he was recovering from a fall, Deran Sarafian
told The Associated Press.

Sarafian worked primarily in television in his early career, directing episodes
of 60s shows like "Gunsmoke," ”I Spy," and "77 Sunset Strip."

He also directed 1963’s "Living Doll" episode of "The Twilight Zone," a chilling
tale whose demonic main character Talky Tina terrified children for decades.

Sara Jane Moore was released on parole in
late 2007. She is now 83 (Feb. 15, 1930).

Trini Lopez enjoyed his biggest hit as "If I Had A Hammer" reached #3 on
the Billboard Pop chart and spent 14 weeks on the Top 100. He would
go on to have three more Top 40 hits.

Trini Lopez is 76 (May 15, 1937)
