1The [UCLA] dean told the 500 of us, 'if you are very, very lucky, one of you will make his living in this business . . . one!' I remember walking out, feeling sorry for the other 499.
#Fact
1The November 17, 1971, issue of Variety, in the Hollywood Production Pulse section, lists the movie The Poppies of Hell, director Patrice Rhomm, starring Bert Convy. Filming began Sep 22, 1971, in Yugoslavia, suspended Oct 6, 1971. Filming was to resume in March 1972. No evidence the film was ever completed.
2Identified in the book "Saturday Night: A Backstage History of Saturday Night Live" as one of several celebrities who asked to host "Saturday Night Live" but was rejected by the SNL producers.
3Went to college with Comedian Carol Burnett at UCLA.
4Was Good friends with comedian Vicki Lawrence.
5Had three children after marrying his first wife, Anne Anderson, in 1959: Jennifer Convy (1960), Joshua Convy (1965) and Jonah Convy (1968).
6In April 1990, Convy was admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after collapsing while visiting his mother. It was there that he was diagnosed with a brain tumor, and was given a short time to live, resulting in the relinquishing his role of host in a planned Match Game (1990) series. After seeking many treatments from several hospitals, Convy died from the tumor on July 15, 1991, eight days shy of his 58th birthday. He is buried in Forest Lawn - Hollywood Hills Cemetery.
7His father was in the shoe business. His parents split up when he was seven and his mother moved them to the San Fernando Valley where he attended North Hollywood High and was deemed "class clown".
8Spent a couple of years shuttling between college and Philadelphia Phillies farm clubs in outposts like Klamath Falls, Oreg. and Miami, Okla. In 1952 he managed to get on stage at UCLA in a non-speaking role as a butler in Molière's "The Imaginary Invalid".
9Bert and Anne had separated in 1987, but were going through a long, difficult divorce. In the meantime, Bert, who was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor, had met another woman named Catherine Hills, who was 25 years old. After suffering a series of severe strokes in 1990, Bert reportedly asked his first wife to give him a divorce so he could die married to Catherine. Anne agreed to it. Bert and Catherine were married in February of 1991 and Bert died five months later.
10Bert's funeral took place on July 18, 1991, at Forest Lawn, Hollywood Hills. Among the celebrity attendees were Burt Reynolds, Loni Anderson, Sally Struthers, Dom DeLuise and Tom Poston.
11In 1968 Convy was a delegate to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. When police waded into the crowd outside his hotel beating them with billy clubs and truncheons, many of the demonstrators ran into the hotel to escape the beatings, and several found their way to Convy's room. Police burst into his room, beat the demonstrators bloody, arrested them and hauled them off to jail (whre many were beaten yet again). Convy, horrified at the unprovoked and vicious assaults and enraged at the police's kicking in his hotel room door, showed up at the jail, passed himself off as the demonstrators' lawyer and demanded that they be released immediately. He caused such a ruckus that just to get rid of him, the police turned over 17 of the demonstrators to him before they could be charged with anything.
12Two Broadway musicals he appeared in ("Fiddler on the Roof" and "Cabaret") were later recreated for cinema. In both instances, the characters he played were changed to non-singing parts.
131967: He was seriously considered for the role of Barnabas Collins on Dark Shadows (1966), but lost out to Jonathan Frid.
14Attended the film program at UCLA.
15Was slated as host of the new Match Game (1990) on ABC, but he became too ill and was replaced by Ross Shafer.
16Was part of the 1950s pop group, The Cheers, along with Sue Allen and Gil Garfield. The trio had hit #6 with "Black Denim Trousers and Motorcycle Boots" in 1955.
17Convy played first base for a Philadelphia Phillies farm team before entering show business.
18Interred at Forest Lawn (Hollywood Hills), Los Angeles, California, USA, Court of Liberty, left of sidewalk.
19Father of three children, including Jennifer Convy and Jonah Convy.
