Lance Kerwin, one time teen heart throb &
favorite of the fan magazines of the 1970s
is dead at 62.
Lance charted a truly meteoric rise with a mere
three years between his first IMDB credit, a 1974
episode of "Emergency" to starring in his is iconic
role as the handsome James at 15.
Sadly, it didn't last long for him. Although he never
stopped finding work -- his last IMDB credit is dated
for 2022, he would never again achieve stardom
following his role as James. The problem wasn't him,
or most likely wasn't. I always imagined that someone
like him was born too late in life, that society was in
search of something gritty than a clean, pretty white
boy whose big dilemma in life is moving to Boston.
Not that there was a lot of sex & violence at the time,
but he was in competition with the likes of Fantasy
Island and The Love Boat.
Let's hope that he's found the stardom in the next
world that eluded him here.
