Passage: Victor Mature, 86
One of the original beefcake actors, Mature parlayed his broad shoulders and tapered waistline into a number of roles during the 1940s and '50s that saw him clad in loincloths and togas and made him a star. Among the movies in which Mature revealed most of himself were The Robe, Demetrius and the Gladiators, One Million B.C., and Cecil B. DeMille's Samson and Delilah. But he wasn't always underdressed -- he also played Doc Holliday opposite Henry Fonda's Wyatt Earp in My Darling Clementine and won praise for his portrayal of small-time hood Nick Bianco in Kiss of Death. For the record, Mature stood 6-foot-2, with a 33-inch waist, 45-inch chest, and 25-inch biceps.

Shatner's Wife Drowns
Nerine Kidd, 40, the wife of actor William Shatner, was found dead in the swimming pool of their North Hollywood home late Monday. Kidd was discovered by her husband after he returned home around 10 p.m., police said. Shatner performed CPR on Kidd but was unable to revive her. Police are so far treating the death as an accidental drowning. Shatner, 68, is best known for his portrayal of Captain James T. Kirk in the Star Trek TV series and subsequent movies.
