Obituaries

Oscar-winning actor Cliff Robertson, 88, died today of natural causes.

In addition to his acting skills, he was married for a number of years to heiress Dina Merrill.

Robertson never elevated into the top ranks of leading men, but he remained a popular actor from the mid-1950s into the following century. His later roles included kindly Uncle Ben in the "Spider-Man" movies.
He also gained attention for his second marriage to actress and heiress Dina Merrill, daughter of financier E.F. Hutton and Marjorie Merriweather Post, heiress to the Post cereal fortune and one of the world's richest women.
