Randall England, 1951 – 2026

Soap star Randall England, who played the villainous Jack Slater on General Hospital in the ‘80s, died on Sept. 25. He was 75. England was a successful model before moving to New York to study acting in the 1970s. Besides in General Hospital role, he appeared in such movies and TV shows as Ruby and Oswald, Looker, This is the Life, Dream Machine, Skyscraper, Baywatch, and Beverly Hills Chihuahua. England also performed in numerous L.A. stage productions, including All My Sons, The Glass Menagerie and The Three Sisters. His family wrote, “He loved good conversation, film, art, theater, sports, and music. He collected keepsakes and memorabilia from the many chapters of his life and delighted in sharing the stories and lessons behind them. He also loved coaching baseball, mentoring young actors, working on his classic BMWs, and cheering on the Oklahoma Sooners. He was well known for his fashion sense, with stylish cowboy boots a fixture of his signature uniform for many years. Beverly Hills won’t be the same without him cruising around in his vintage BMW, sporting his dark Ray-Ban sunglasses.”
