Personal Life and Death
Cabot was married three times, to actresses Adrienne Ames and Francesca De Scaffa, and finally to Mary Mather Smith. He was famously good friends with Errol Flynn but they fell out during the production of the unfinished The Story of William Tell. Flynn was producing the film and asked Cabot, whom he described as "an old, old pal," to play in it. When Flynn's financial backers defaulted, production halted, leaving Flynn broke in Rome. Cabot, in an attempt to get paid, had Flynn's and his wife Patrice Wymore's personal cars seized. Flynn wrote angrily in his autobiography of what he termed Cabot's "betrayal."
Bruce Cabot died in 1972 in Woodland Hills, California from lung cancer and was buried in his hometown, Carlsbad, New Mexico.
Inducted into the New Mexico Entertainment Hall of Fame in 2012.

Famous quotes containing the words personal, life and/or death:
“It has no share in the leadership of thought: it does not even reflect its current. It does not create beauty: it apes fashion. It does not produce personal skill: our actors and actresses, with the exception of a few persons with natural gifts and graces, mostly miscultivated or half-cultivated, are simply the middle-class section of the residuum.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“John Brown’s career for the last six weeks of his life was meteor-like, flashing through the darkness in which we live. I know of nothing so miraculous in our history.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“There’s nothing wrong in suffering, if you suffer for a purpose. Our revolution didn’t abolish danger or death. It simply made danger and death worthwhile.”
—H.G. (Herbert George)
