The popular daytime television actor died from complications from pneumonia
James Mitchell, best known for his role on All My Children, died on Friday in Los Angeles.
The actor had been suffering from heart disease for some years now, and his recent case of pneumonia seemed to trigger the worst.
Mitchell, who was born in Sacramento, graduated from Los Angeles City College with a degree in Theater. He had parts on Broadway for a short time, and he also had a spot dancing with the American Ballet Theater before moving on to teach dance at Yale University and Drake University.
