Actor and former Mr. Universe Mickey Hargitay passed away last Thursday.
Genre credits include HERCULES AGAINST THE HYDRA and BLOODY PIT OF HORROR but he also starred in a number of comedies and spaghetti westerns.
I interviewed Mickey a few years back and he was a delight to talk to. Sometime later I was in Los Angeles and he invited me to visit his home up in the Hollywood Hills above Sunset Blvd...his home looked very much like a spanish style castle even including assorted stairways that went all over the place! I got the grand tour...and what a view of LA from various spots around his home.
Mickey loved his role in BLOODY PIT OF HORROR and he was very proud of his children and was so happy to be a grandfather (you should have seen all the family pictures in his house!).
A nice, down to earth guy who I am so glad I got to know!
