Death
March's career took a turn for the better in July 1969 when he began hosting the game show It's Your Bet. After completing approximately 13 weeks of taping, however, March complained that he was exhausted. Tests revealed that he had lung cancer, the result of years of chain smoking.
March died in January 1970 in Los Angeles at age 49. He is buried in Hillside Memorial Park Cemetery. Although he never mentioned her, his long-lost sister, Mary Mendelson, visits his grave often.
