Antoinette Bower (September 30, 1932 – April 30, 2026) died three months ago at the age of 93, but news of her death was not made public until today.
Born in Baden-Baden, Germany, to a German mother and an English father, Bower was raised in England before moving to Canada in 1953. She began her career on Canadian television and radio before relocating to Hollywood, where she became one of television's busiest guest stars throughout the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s.
Bower appeared in dozens of popular television series, including Star Trek, The Twilight Zone, Mission: Impossible, Perry Mason, The Fugitive, Combat!, Hawaii Five-O, Hogan's Heroes, Mannix, Cannon, Columbo, Kojak, The Six Million Dollar Man, Murder, She Wrote, and The Thorn Birds. Star Trek fans remember her best as Sylvia in the original series episode "Catspaw," while Twilight Zone viewers knew her from the classic episode "The 7th Is Made Up of Phantoms."
Her film credits included Prom Night (1980), Die Sister, Die!, Blood Song, Time Walker, The Evil That Men Do, Club Paradise, and Mutiny on the Bounty. She concluded her nearly 40-year acting career with a starring role as Fox Devlin on the Canadian television series Neon Rider.
Bower was married to American artist James Francis Gill. She died on April 30, 2026, at a senior retirement home in the Eagle Rock neighborhood of Los Angeles. Family friend Carlotta Glackin said she died of natural causes. She had largely stayed out of the public eye following her retirement in the early 1990s.
A 'sudden tear'??? Any idea what would cause that Sass?
If I had to guess, I'd say he was battling some health issues for quite some time.
I wouldn't imagine a public figure such as himself would be unaware of the importance of keeping up with his health at an optimum level.
A dissection - which is what happened to him- is the valve that is the closest, most important one.
When that happens it's pretty much over.
