Actor Robert Dix Dies At 83

Hollywood actor Robert Dix, who was best known for his role in the 1956 film 'Forbidden Planet', dies of respiratory failure at a hospital here. The actor was 83-years-old and is survived by his wife Lynette, children Jana and Robert, two grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. The son of late actor Richard Dix passed away on Monday.

Apart from 'Forbidden Planet', Robert had appeared in many horror movies. Some of his films include 'Frankenstein's Daughter', 'Deadwood 76', 'Blood of Dracula's Castle' and 'Five Bloody Graves'. His standard on-screen image was that of the rugged and stalwart hero.

The funeral will take place at Russellville-Dragoon Cemetery in Arizona on Friday. Robert was Richard Dix's youngest son who transitioned from the silent era to talkies and received a nomination for best actor for Cimarron. Richard Dix died of a heart attack when Robert was 14, and in 1954, his twin brother, Richard Dix Jr., passed away in a logging accident.
