Anniversary (18th Oct,1984. -18th Oct.2013.)
Jon-Erik Hexum
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon-Erik_Hexum
Jon-Erik Hexum (November 5, 1957 – October 18, 1984) was an
American model and actor. He died as a result of an accidental self-inflicted
blank cartridge gunshot wound to the head on the set of the CBS television
series Cover Up in which he played the male lead.
The episode on which Hexum had been working was broadcast on
November 3, 1984, two weeks after Hexum's death. Cover Up continued production
without Hexum's character. Three weeks later, on November 24, Antony Hamilton
was introduced as agent Jack Striker, posing as a new member of the modeling
team.
Hexum's character, Mac, is noticeably absent, said to be on
another mission. At the end of the episode, Jack breaks the news that Mac has
been killed on the other assignment and would not be coming back. As the tears
flowed, the camera panned back, and a memoriam written by Glen Larson appeared
onscreen:
"They say when a star dies, its light continues to
shine
across the universe for milleniums.
Jon-Erik Hexum died in October of this year(1984.)but his
light will continue to
brighten our lives forever...and ever."
As Cover Up continued to air throughout the winter of
1984-85, ratings held up. But when controversy (completely unrelated to Hexum)
again threatened the series, CBS gave up on the show and allowed it to
languish. The network then canceled the series after its first season due to
mediocre ratings.
