Ron Randell

Ron Randell

A fighter pilot in the Australian Air Force during WW II, he shot down five Japanese planes in combat.

He died on the same day as his Captive Women (1952) co-star Robert Clarke.

His name was pronounced "Randall", rather than "Ran-DELL". "But," he said, "I answer to either."

In the 1980s, an operation for a tumor in his inner ear resulted in the permanent paralysis of the left side of his face.

June 1957, Ron Randall marries Laya Raki in a civil ceremony in London. He's eleven years her senior, and is in his third marriage. In December, the Randells are having a honeymoon, and then they file for a license to be married in the Roman Catholic Church of the Good Shepherd, in Beverly Hills, which happen early January 1958.
