Other Info:
A veteran actor who has appeared on stage in New York as well as London.
He claims he has never seen The Rocky Horror Picture Show or Shock Treatment.
Regarding his death:
Rocky Horror creator Richard O'Brien, who
played butler Riff Raff in the 1975 film, said
that, in real life, Gray could not have been
more different from his on-screen persona.
"He was a charming man with a dry wit and a
low tolerance of pomposity in others," he said.
As well as the cat-loving Ernst Stavro Blofeld
in 1971's Diamonds Are Forever - Donald
Pleasance and Telly Savalas also played the
role in other 007 films - Gray starred in 1967's
You Only Live Twice as Henderson, Bond's
contact in Japan.
A spokeswoman for Bond film makers Eon
Productions said today: "We are extremely sad
to hear this news. Everyone will remember
Blofeld with the white cat in his arms. Charles
was a great actor in a memorable film."
He was also in great demand as a voice-over
artist for commercials.
