Randy Stone

STONE , Randy
(48) Died of heart failure at his home in Beverly Hills on Monday,
February 12. Although he started his career as a child actor, Randy
made his name as a television casting director, cutting his teeth at
The Landsberg Company. He won an Emmy for casting the movie of the
week "The Incident". As Head of Casting at 20th Century Fox Television
he was responsible for shaping the "The X Files" and "Millennium". He
developed and executive produced the feature film "Little Man Tate"
with Jodie Foster and Dianne Wiest. He won an Oscar in 1994 for
producing the short film "Trevor," a tender and humorous tale of a
young gay boy's attempted suicide. Most recently, Randy produced the
Lifetime film "A Little Thing Called Murder," starring Judy Davis, for
which he won the International Press Academy's Satellite Award. The
movie was based on the bizarre true crime story of Sante and Kenny
Kimes. Randy also co-founded The Trevor Project, which operates a
national 24-hour hotline for gay and questioning teenagers and
distributes educational materials to schools around the country to
help troubled teens.
Randy is survived by his two sisters Marie and Malia, his brother
Jeff, his mother Beverly, his father Richard and his two Chow Chows,
Cooper and Lola. Here was a man that was so full of life, brimming
with a kooky charm that lit up the room. His passionate spirit and
tireless friendship will be missed by all.
Services will be held on Friday at Forest Lawn's Old North Church,
6300 Forest Lawn Drive on Friday at 8:30AM. In lieu of flowers,
donations may be sent to The Trevor Project, 9056 Santa Monica Blvd.,
Ste 100, West Hollywood CA 90069

Randy Stone is - or was - a very close friend of Jodie Foster and has
been long rumored to be the biological father of one or both of her sons.

Hmmm....

I just checked him IMDB bio, and there's very little listed before
about his 23rd birthday. Or was he
some ubiquitous commercial kid from the '60s and '70s? I have a
pretty good memory of kid actors from the
'60s and '70s and I don't remember him at all. Heck, I remember Clint
Howard when he still had hair (and even the Star Trek episode in which
he didn't..._)

The short film "Trevor" is also called "Ellen DeGeneres Presents
Trevor" and guess who's hosting the Oscars?

Just something to think about re the Necrology.

He may have been a stage actor as a child. Googling, I see a lot of
links to theater resources in the "Quad City" area, whatever that is.

Hmm...? First Anna Nicole Smith dies, now this Randy Stone character
who (((I))) never heard of. Things happen in "threes". I guess it'll
be three D-list celebrities. So who will complete this entry???????
[perhaps he's also the biological father of Smith's daughter]

either: the next to die/Anna Nicole Smith's baby's daddy:

- Ken Osmond (Eddie Haskell, "Leave It To Beaver")
- Jackie Earle Haley (Kelly Leak, "The Bad News Bears In Breaking
Training")

...The Quad Cities are four municipalities -- Rock Island and Moline,
Illinois, and Davenport and Bettendorf, Iowa -- immediately adjacent to
each other and separated by the Mississippi River about halfway between
Minneapolis-St. Paul and St. Louis...

That was an obviously fake news story.
