(FOX NEWS) – Award-winning actor James Earl Jones died
Monday at his home in Dutchess County, New York. The
cause of death was not immediately disclosed.

Jones was known for his voice role as Darth Vader in the
"Star Wars" franchise, in addition to "Coming to America,
"Field of Dreams," Mufasa in “The Lion King,” and "The
Hunt for Red October."

1970

In 1977, Jones made his debut in his iconic
voiceover role as Darth Vader in George
Lucas‘ space opera blockbuster film Star

Jones Theatre on Broadway.

James William Ercolani (June 8, 1936 – September 2, 2024),
known by his stage name James Darren. He died in his sleep
at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles at the age of 88.

1961

On September 2, 1969, America’s first automatic teller machine
(ATM) made its public debut, dispensing cash to customers at
Chemical Bank in Rockville Centre, New York. ATMs went on
to revolutionize the banking industry, eliminating the need to
visit a bank to conduct basic financial transactions.

By the 1980s, these money machines had become widely
popular and handled many of the functions previously
performed by human tellers, such as check deposits and
money transfers between accounts. Today, ATMs are as
indispensable to most people as cell phones and e-mail.
