Lew Palter, a Brooklyn-born actor whose dozens of film and TV performances included a role in James Cameron’s “Titanic,” has died following a battle with lung cancer, his family said.
His daughter told The Hollywood Reporter that Palter, who was 94, died at his home in Los Angeles on May 21.
Born in 1928, Palter broke into the entertainment industry as an Off-Broadway actor and director. He began acting on-screen during the late 1960s with appearances on series such as “Run for Your Life,” “Days of our Lives,” “Gunsmoke” and “Mission: Impossible.”
