RIP Walter Maslow

 

He was not on the list.

Actor Walter C. Maslow died in Murieta, California on November 2, 2025. He was 97. Maslow was born in Manhattan, New York on January 16, 1928, and was known for playing private Marty Green in the 1958 film Suicide Battalion. He was the son of Rubin and Sylvia Maslow. Walter served in the United States Navy during World War II. During his military service, he directed and acted on special services performances, which after his discharge, he moved to New York and appeared on off-Broadway productions at Cherry Lane Theatre in New York. He began his screen career in 1956, appearing in the CBS adventure and drama television series Crusader, starring Brian Keith. The next year, he appeared in the film Under Fire, playing an uncredited role of a court officer.

Later in his career, Maslow guest-starred in television programs including Johnny Staccato, 26 Men, Man with a Camera, Colt .45, Tales of Wells Fargo, Sky King, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Fury, Iron Horse and Highway Patrol, and played the recurring roles of Dick Averill and Blackie Saunders in the ABC western television series The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp. He also appeared in films such as Suicide Battalion (as private Marty Green), The Cosmic Man (as Dr. Ritchie), Atlas (as Garnis), Winter A-Go-Go, Warning Shot and Here Come the Jets.

Maslow retired from acting in 1978, last appearing in the film Malibu Beach, starring Kim Lankford and James Daughton.

Walter was married to Eileen Wool (1951-1953) and later married Joan Kathryn Young, an actress, in Rome (1961-1962), where he had completed his scenes for the film Francis of Assisi, and where the newlyweds would presently begin work in the film Barabbas, resulting in uncredited roles for each. The marriage failed and Maslow married Lois C Blumenstein in 1967.
