Actor Antony Carbone Has Died 

He was not on the list.

Born in Italy in 1925, Antony Carbone was raised in Syracuse, New York, and credits the area's cold and snow (which he hated) for his determination to move out and become an actor. He has worked on stage, in TV and in a baker's dozen movies, but his best-remembered acting credits are the exploitation flicks he made for Roger Corman (A Bucket of Blood (1959), Last Woman on Earth (1960), Creature from the Haunted Sea (1961), The Pit and the Pendulum (1961).

After graduating from Los Angeles State College, he moved to New York City to study drama with Harold Clurman and Eva Le Gallienne. He started his professional acting career in small parts in various Broadway productions before moving into film and television.

He was probably best known for his supporting roles in several low-budget horror films by Roger Corman in the late 1950s and early 1960s. In 1968, Carbone appeared (credited as Anthony Carbone) as the first Mexican on The Big Valley, in the episode titled "Miranda."

From the mid-1980s, he worked as a stage director in Los Angeles. Carbone died in Long Beach, California in October 2020, at the age of 95.
