The Hollywood stuntman set fire to the 88 -year -old Pink Floyd cover

Ronnie Rondell JR – who was famous on the cover before the emblematic album cover of Pink Floyd, died at the age of 88.

The stuntman and actor of Hollywood died on August 12 in a care house in the American state of Missouri, according to an online BTR.

Rondell participated in the production of a certain number of films and television programs during his long career, notably Lethal Arme, Thelma and Louise and Star Trek: First Contact.

He is survived by his wife Mary and his son, who is also called Ronald.

Rondell was born in California in 1937 and obtained his first role as a teenager actor in the early 1950s in the film Ma and Pa Kettle at the Fair.

His first stuntman’s role was for the soldiers of the Fortune television series, which took place from 1955 to 1957.

Between the 1960s and 1990s, he worked on several American television series, notably Charlie’s Angels, Dynasty and Baywatch, as well as films such as Spartacus, Diamonds Are Forever and The Karate Kid.

One of his best -known waterfalls jumped from a pole that was on fire as he overturned – a feat he played for the 1963 Kings of the Sun.

He was also involved in combat scenes in the 1965 film Shenandoah, which was established during the American civil war, a bar fight in Western comedy in 1974 and impressive fire scenes in the imposing Inferno, which was published the same year.

Later in his career, he worked as a stunt coordinator for films such as Batman and Robin, and the powerful Ducks.

While many may not recognize the name of Rondell, they will probably have seen it settle for the cover of Pink Floyd’s album in 1975, Wish You Wred, while shaking his hand with his compatriot Danny Rogers.

During the shooting, the wind changed the steering and skipped the fire on his face, making him lose an eyebrow and part of his signature mustache.

Rondell launched its own waterfall company, Scortescades Unlimited, California in 1970.

He retired in 2001, but obtained his latest Cascade credit for the matrix recharged in 2003 – participating in a complex car chase scene.

Rondell received an honor for success for life at the Taurus World Stunt Awards in 2004.

He was not the only artist in the family. His father, Ronald R Rondell, was an actor and assistant director – known for his work on films, in particular the 1956 adaptation of the novel by Jules Verne in the world in 80 days.

The two sons of Rondll also worked in the industry, one of which, Reid, died while performing a helicopter stroke for the Airwolf television series in 1985.
