Gary Kent Cause of Death

Gary Kent, a well-known actor, director, and stuntman who is credited with helping Quentin Tarantino create the movie Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, passed suddenly on Thursday at an assisted living home in Austin, Texas. Age-wise, he was 89.

Kent, who was born in Walla Walla, Washington, on June 7, 1933, started his early career in film with appearances in films like Battle Flame in 1959. In the 1960s, he also made appearances in a number of low-budget movies, such as The Black Klansman (1966) and the motorcycle movie The Savage Seven (1968).

He served as Bruce Dern’s stunt double in the 1969 Richard Rush exploitation masterpiece Psych-Out, which has become a cult classic.

The first movie directed by Peter Bogdanovich, Targets (1968), starring Boris Karloff, as well as the popular drive-in flicks of the day, Hell’s Bloody Devils (1970), The Incredible 2-Headed Transplant (1971), and Angels’ Wild Women (1972), were important additions to Kent’s résumé.

While Kent had a few minor acting appearances at that time, his work as a stuntman from the 1960s to the 1990s had a lasting impression on Hollywood.

He contributed excitement and action to both major motion pictures like Hells Angels on Wheels, The Return of Count Yorga, Freebie and the Bean, Color of Night, and Bubba Ho-Tep as well as television programs like The Man From U.N.C.L.E., The Green Hornet, and Daniel Boone.
