Former 'Dynasty' actor Christopher Cazenove dies at 64
BRITISH actor Christopher Cazenove has died at the age of 64 after losing a battle with septicaemia, his family said yesterday, the second "Dynasty" star to die in the past week.
Cazenove, who attended the upmarket school Eton College, made his name playing aristocratic roles in a string of British TV shows but was best known for playing the role of Ben Carrington in the glitzy US soap opera "Dynasty".
Cazenove's death in a London hospital comes just days after the death of John Forsythe who also starred in the popular series that aired from 1981 until 1989.
"Christopher died peacefully on April 7 surrounded by his loved ones having contracted septicaemia (blood poisoning) at the end of February," said a family statement released widely to the media through his agent, Lesley Duff.
"Despite a valiant fight and the untiring efforts of the wonderful team at St Thomas's (Hospital in London), he was overwhelmed. All who knew and loved him will be devastated by the loss of this incredible man who touched so many lives."
Cazenove was married to actress Angharad Rees for more than 20 years and they had two sons, but the eldest was killed in a car crash in 1999 aged 25.
Forsythe, who played Cazenove's half-brother Blake Carrington in Dynasty, died last week in Santa Ynez, California, at the age of 92 after a year-long battle with cancer.
