Ed Hinton Killed In Plane
Crash.
- Pilot And Model Die With Movie Actor.
AVALON, Calif., Oct. 13 (AP). Ed Hinton, movie
character actor, was killed last night in a plane crash on Santa
Catalina Island.
Also killed were the pilot Vincent Pardew, 27,
Costa Mesa, Calif., operator of a flying service between the island
and the mainland 22 miles away, and Marcella Crumley, 27, Long
Beach, Calif., model.
Witnesses said the plane, a single-engine
amphibian, took off from Toyon Bay, four miles north of here.
It headed out to sea, then apparently returned at low altitude so
that Hinton could wave to his wife and three children standing on
the dock.
The plane suddenly lost altitude, smashed into a
cliff and fell to the beach.
Hinton played character roles in dozens of
pictures.
