Mr. Richard Blackwell Has Died

Mr. Blackwell, whose first name was Richard, died Sunday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center of complications from an intestinal infection, publicist Harlan Boll said. He was 86 years-old. Mr. Blackwell’s real name was Richard Sylvan Seltzer.

Mr. Blackwell was gay, and his partner was Robert Spencer. I have to wonder if that intestinal infection was an STD. Blackwell also suffered from Bell’s palsy, which he was diagnosed with back in 2001.

Rest in peace.
