The hardest-working actor in show business was found dead in his hotel room today in Bangkok where he was making a movie. The ageless Carradine, son of character actor John and half-brother of actors Keith and Bobby, was, incredibly, 72. From Caine to Cole Younger ( The Long Riders), he played many legendary figures. The quintessential Carradine? Felt him as Woody Guthrie.
