Laurence Harvey Cause of Death

Laurence Harvey died at the age of 45 from Stomach cancer in Hampstead, north London on November 25, 1973.

Harvey was known for his clipped, refined accent and cool, debonair screen persona. His performance in Room at the Top (1959) resulted in an Academy Award nomination.

That success was followed by the roles of Williams Barret Travis in the Alamo and Weston Ligget in Butterfield 8, both films released in the autumn of 1960.

Harvey’s career gained a boost when he appeared in Women of Twilight (1952); this was made by Romulus Films run by brothers John and James Woolf, who signed Harvey to a long-term contract.
