There has been another death, mystically linked to a famous sunken steamship. Actor Lew Palter, best remembered for his role in James Cameron’s 1997 film, has died at his home in Los Angeles. In “Titanic” Lew embodied the tycoon Isidore Straus on the screen.

As a former congressman and respected man, he was offered a place on the ship, but refused to leave the sinking ship while the women and children were on board. His wife Ida, who had been married to him for over forty years, decided to stay with him. In “Titanic,” the couple was shown in a touching scene as they braved death and hugged each other in bed.

On June 18, a submarine owned by OceanGate owner Stockton Rush exploded near the wreck of the Titanic in the Atlantic Ocean, killing French explorer Paul-Henri Nargeole, British billionaire Hamish Harding, Pakistani businessman Shahzad Dawood and his son Suleman, along with a merchant on the Titanic. immersive.. It is noteworthy that Stockton’s widow, Wendy Rush, is the great-great-granddaughter of the tycoon Isidor Straus, who was portrayed by Palter in the cult film.

The theater and film actor was born in New York. He is also remembered for his roles as Judge Benjamin Halperin in the film The First Monday in October and Jill Clayburgh in the Ronald Neame drama The Supreme Court. Lew has starred in many television series, including Delvecchio, Hill Street Blues, Colombo, Baretta. He acted in the popular New York productions of The Madwoman of Chaillot and Enemy of the People. The actor has also directed off-Broadway plays including Let a Man Live, Rejected and The Trial of Lucullus. According to the Daily Mail, he worked as a director and producer at the Millbrook Theatre.

In addition, Palter was a distinguished professor at CalArts Theater School. His students include four-time Academy Award nominee Ed Harris, Academy Award nominee Don Cheadle, and two-time Emmy Award nominee Cecily Strong. It is noteworthy that the artist died on May 21, but this was only learned by the general public after the crash of the Titanic’s bathyscaphe at the site of the Titanic’s death.
