I had a big crush on him back in the day! 


Chad Everett, the blue-eyed star of the 1970s TV series Medical Center who went on to appear in such films and TV shows as Mulholland Drive and Melrose Place, has died. He was 75.

Everett's daughter, Katherine Thorp, said he died Tuesday at his home in Los Angeles after a year-and-a-half-long battle with lung cancer.

Everett played sensitive doctor Joe Gannon for seven years on Medical Center. The role earned him two Golden Globes and an Emmy nomination.

With a career spanning more than 40 years, Everett guest starred on such TV series as The Love Boat, Murder, She Wrote and Without a Trace. Everett most recently appeared in the TV series Castle. His films credits included The Jigsaw Murders, The Firechasers and director Gus Van Sant's Psycho.

Everett was born in South Bend, Ind., and graduated from Wayne State University before moving to Los Angeles and becoming a contract player with MGM.

In perhaps his most memorable recent film role, Everett played an aging lothario who engages in a steamy audition with a young ingénue portrayed by Naomi Watts in director David Lynch's "Mulholland Drive".

Everett is survived by his two daughters, Katherine and Shannon, and six grandchildren. He was married to actress Shelby Grant for 45 years until her death last year.
