\"\"<\/p>\n

Marilyn Eastman, best known for her role in George Romero’s classic Night of the Living Dead<\/em>, died yesterday at the age of 87.\u00a0 No cause of death was given.<\/p>\n

Ms. Eastman not only co-starred in Night of the Living Dead<\/em>, she was also one producing partners of Image Ten – the company formed to finance the movie.\u00a0 It’s interesting to note that Marilyn Eastman played Helen Cooper, the wife of Harry Cooper played by Karl Hardman, who was her real-life business and life partner.\u00a0 In addition, Ms. Eastman also worked on make-up, props and assisted with the editing for Night of the Living Dead<\/em>.<\/p>\n

After filming of Night of the Living Dead<\/em>, Marilyn Eastman returned to work at Hardman\/Eastman, Inc., the production company she and Karl Hardman had created prior to the making of the horror classic.\u00a0 Ms. Eastman would continue to make and\/or appear in commercials and industrial films for the rest of her career.\u00a0 \u00a0In addition, Marilyn Eastman had roles in an episode of Perry Mason<\/em> in 1960 and the movies Houseguest<\/em> (1995) and Santa Claws<\/em> (1996).<\/p>\n

The only film\/tv show I ever saw Marilyn Eastman act in was Night of the Living Dead<\/em>.\u00a0 I cannot tell you how many times I’ve see it, but I do know I’ve spent more time watching Ms. Eastman on screen than many, movie\/tv stars with dozens more credits.<\/p>\n

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Marilyn Eastman’s family, friends and fans.<\/p>\n
