Emmy-Nominated Actor James Stacy Dies at 80

James Stacy, who was Emmy-nominated for his role as a wheelchair-bound
amputee in TV movie "Just a Little Inconvenience" and starred in
Western series "Lancer," died Thursday in Ventura, Calif. He was 80.

His turbulent life included being married to actresses Connie Stevens
and Kim Darby, becoming a double amputee after a motorcycle accident,
and serving prison time for child molestation.

His partner Antigoni Tsamparlis confirmed his death and said he had
possibly suffered an allergic reaction after being admitted to the
hospital.

Born Maurice W. Elias in Los Angeles, Stacy appeared on "The Donna Reed
Show" (1958) and "The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet" (1952), and had a
recurring role in "Wiseguy" (1990). He also appeared in numerous
episodes of "Bonanza" (1973), "Gunsmoke" (1964-73) and received a
producing credit for the film "My Kidnapper, My Love" (1980).

Appearing as a wounded Vietnam vet in "Just a Little Inconvenience"
opposite Barbara Hershey, he hoped to encourage other amputees and
persons with disabilities to fulfill their goals of living a full life.

After his motorcycle accident, he also appeared in Kirk Douglas's
"Posse" and was Emmy-nominated for a guest appearance on "Cagney &
Lacey."

Stacy is survived by his partner Tsamparlis; a daughter with Darby,
Heather Elias; grandson Luk Maxwell; great-grandson Lester James
Maxwell; brother Louie; and sister Carolyn.

This is an other 'wow, I had no idea he was still alive' moment.
