Biography

Perry Lopez, a renowned actor, entered this world on July 22, 1929, in the bustling metropolis of New York City, located within the state of New York, in the United States of America.

As a talented thespian, Lopez is perhaps most notable for his appearances in a trio of iconic films: Chinatown, a 1974 neo-noir mystery directed by Roman Polanski; Kelly's Heroes, a 1970 war comedy-drama directed by Brian G. Hutton; and The Two Jakes, a 1990 neo-noir mystery directed by and starring Robert Towne.

Lopez was married to the lovely Claire Kelly, with whom he shared a lifelong bond.

Regrettably, Perry Lopez's life came to a close on February 14, 2008, in the affluent city of Beverly Hills, located within the state of California, in the United States of America.
