Classic actor John Phillip Law has passed away at the age of 70-years old. He starred in many classic films such as Barbarella, The Red Baron and The Love Machine to name a few.

Law died Tuesday at his Los Angeles home, his former wife, Shawn Ryan, said. The cause of death was not announced.

Born in Los Angeles on Sept. 7, 1937, to L.A. County Sheriff’s Deputy John Law and actress Phyllis Sallee, Law decided to become an actor after taking drama classes at the University of Hawaii.

He moved to New York in the early 1960s, studied with Elia Kazan at the Lincoln Center Repertory Theater and landed bit parts on Broadway. He went to Europe and found work in a handful of Italian films, where he caught the attention of Norman Jewison. The director cast Law as Alexei Kolchin, a young Soviet submariner who wins the heart of a teenage baby-sitter in “The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming,” his 1966 Cold War comedy set in New England.

He was a favorite guest of Hugh Hefner during the 70’s and 80’s at the Playboy Mansion.
