Actor Don Murray, star of 'Bus Stop' alongside Marilyn Monroe, dies

The American actor Don Murray has died at the age of 94, as confirmed by his family to the American press. The artist became known thanks to the film Bus Stop, released in 1965 and co-starring the very famous Marilyn Monroe.

The person in charge of breaking the news to The New York Times was the actor's son, Christopher Murray, although he did not give more details about what or how it had happened.

Murray Sr. was nominated for an Oscar for his portrayal of a cowboy who fell in love with Monroe. From that film debut, the actor built a very prolific six-decade artistic career: he played very different roles, from a priest, to a senator in Advise and Consent (1961) or a drug addict.

He participated in a total of 35 Hollywood films, about 25 for television and also in dozens of television and theater productions, including The Outcasts, where he played Jamal David, or the well-known Twin Peaks, where he played Bushnell Mullins.
