Luke Perry, who gained instant heartthrob status as Dylan McKay on 'Beverly Hills, 90210,' dies after suffering a massive stroke
"Beverly Hills 90210" had built a cult in the 1990s and it grew to become a cultural phenomenon among youth. Perry had recently played Fred Andrews, father of main character Archie Andrews, for three seasons on"Riverdale."
Perry was surrounded by family and friends when he died, publicist Arnold Robinson said. The actor had been hospitalised since last Wednesday, after a 911 call summoned medical help to his home in the Sherman Oaks section of Los Angeles. Perry had played construction company owner Fred Andrews, father of main character Archie Andrews, for three seasons on "Riverdale," the CW series that gives a dark take on "Archie" comics. A fourth season has been slated.
He played out the memory of hearing his mother say, "He's the most beautiful man in the world, honey ... he's a movie star."But Perry expanded his interests far beyond acting, identifying history as a passion and family a priority. The actor's next big screen role will be in Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time In Hollywood," which is slated for release in July.
