Death
Crawford married three times; he had two sons (Kelly and Kim) from his marriage to actress Kay Griffith. He died of a series of strokes in 1986 at the age of 74 in Rancho Mirage, California after years of hard living and drinking, which continued virtually unabated to the end of his life. One of his long term pals for such adventures was Lon Chaney, Jr. He has two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, one for motion pictures at 6901 Hollywood Boulevard and another for television at 6734 Hollywood Boulevard.

Famous quotes containing the word death:
“And so, standing before the aforesaid officiator, the two swore that at every other time of their lives till death took them, they would assuredly believe, feel, and desire precisely as they had believed, felt, and desired during the few preceding weeks. What was as remarkable as the undertaking itself was the fact that nobody seemed at all surprised at what they swore.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
