Troy Donahue Dies At 65

3 September 2001 | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Former teen heartthrob actor Troy Donahue died Sunday at the age of 65. The blond, blue-eyed hunk wooed female film audiences during the 50s and 60s, after shooting to fame in the role of Sandra Dee's young lover in 1959's A Summer Place. He later encountered and overcame drug and alcohol problems. Donahue died at St. John's Hospital And Medical Center in Santa Monica, California, after suffering a heart attack on Thursday, according to family friend Bob Palmer. "He was a good-looking, blond guy who looked great on the beach," Palmer says. "He was a little more moody - he wasn't a gee-whiz guy. His character was more the brooding youth, but with heroic underpinnings." Donahue went on to star in a series of teen romances, including Parrish (1961), Rome Adventure (1962), and Palm Springs Weekend (1963). »
