Jed Allan – another individual from the “Beverly Hills, 90210” family and a soap opera legend – has died, as per his child.
Rick Brown posted the miserable news on Jed Allan’s authentic Facebook fan page Saturday, saying Jed passed away gently while encompassed by family. He included, “Thank you for all who are part of this wonderful tribute to my dad on Facebook.”
Jed played Rush Sanders on ‘90210’ – the dad of Ian Ziering’s Steve Sanders. Ian presented a tribute on Jed Sunday, saying, “So sad to hear we’ve lost another 90210 castmate. I had the pleasure of working with Jed Allan from 94 to 99. He played Rush Sanders, Steve’s father. Such a great guy to work with, he will be missed.”
Jed was maybe increasingly known for his roles on soaps like “Days of Our Lives,” in which he played Don Craig, just as the TV series “Santa Clause Barbara,” where he played C.C. Capwell. He had a very prolific career spanning 6 decades, having showed up on shows like “Lassie,” “Columbo,” “Adam-12,” “Love, American Style,” “CHiPs” and many, numerous others.
Jed had 64 acting credits to his name.
Obviously, his demise comes not exactly seven days after Luke Perry’s terrible passing. TMZ broke the story … Perry died Monday subsequent to enduring a monstrous stroke the week earlier. Doctors sedated him hoping he’d recuperate, yet he never did.
Jed is made due by his three children from his marriage to Toby Brown, who died in 2001. Most likely, an intense week in TV.
