Irish actor Kieron Moore died in France on 15 July 2007. Born as Kieron O’Hanrahan on 5 October 1924 in Skibbereen, County Cork, Ireland, he seemed destined for acting stardom until he was miscast as Count Vronsky in the 1948 version of Anna Karenina (which starred Vivien Leigh).
He did continue working through 1974, and had roles in several notable genre productions. His appearances include:
Satellite in the Sky (1956), Darby O’Gill and the Little People (1959), Doctor Blood’s Coffin (1961), The Day of the Triffids (1962), Crack in the World (1965), and a 1970 episode of Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased).
