Actor Gary Beach Dead at 70 – Entertainment News

By Brad Berkwitt

Gary Beach, who created the role of Lumiere in Disney’s Beauty and The Beast and won a Tony Award for his unforgettable turn as director Roger DeBris in Mel Brooks’ “The Producers”, died yesterday in Palm Springs. He was 70.

His death was announced by his agent Steven Unger. No cause was given. Beach was hilarious in the remake of The Producers where he put his own spin on director Roger DeBris. He was also quite good in a smaller role in the film Defending Your Life with Albert Brooks.

Ringside Report extends our deepest condolences to the Beach Family in their time of grief.
