“It's like putting on a funny face and going out in front of people and going, 'yaaaaaa.'”

John Phillip Law, the strikingly handsome 1960s movie actor who portrayed an angel in the futuristic 'Barbarella' and a lovesick Russian seaman in 'The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming,' has died. He was 70.

Law died Tuesday at his Los Angeles home, said his daughter Dawn Law. The cause of death was not announced.

With his vivid eyes, blond hair and imposing physique, Law was much in demand by filmmakers in the late 1960s and early '70s.

He gained wide notice in 1966 with Alan Arkin, Carl Reiner and Theo Bikel in 'The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming,' Norman Jewison's Cold War comedy in which a Soviet submarine runs aground off a peaceful New England island town. Read more
