Sir Guy Standing Dies Suddenly at 63

Esteemed English actor Sir Guy Standing collapsed in a garage chat after a health query, with doctor citing a heart attack possibly triggered by a black widow spider bite from filming. Born in London to a theatrical family, he served as a naval commander in World War I and was knighted by King George V before moving to Hollywood. His final film was Lloyds of London, and he led a private Malibu life with valet Jim Fuller, devoted to sailing, golf, and music. He reportedly married three times with children Guy Standing Jr. and Katherine, now believed to be in England.
