Richard Roundtree, ‘Generations’, ‘ATWT” and ‘Shaft’ Star, Dead at 81
Motion picture and television leading man, Richard Roundtree, has passed away at the age of 81. The actor, best known for his role in the iconic film Shaft, and its sequels, died from complications from pancreatic cancer on October 24th in his home in Los Angeles.
In a statement, Roundtree’s manager, Patrick McMinn shared, “Richard’s work and career served as a turning point for African American leading men in film. The impact he had on the industry cannot be overstated.”
During his extensive credits and career, Roundtree made two stops to two daytime soap operas. In 1990 till 1991, Roundtree played Dr. Daniel Ruebens on the defunct NBC soap opera Generations. He later appeared on As the World Turns from 2002-2003, taking on the role of Oliver Travers, the father to T. Marshall Travers played by Lamman Rucker.

Roundtree’s leading lady on Generations, Jonelle Allen took to her Facebook upon learning the news of the death of her former castmate and friend, expressing: “My Leading Man on Generations. I Am Very Sad. My Condolences To Your Family. Dearest Richard Roundtree.”
In a subsequent post, Allen shared a photo of their Generations’ characters, Daniel and Doreen about to lip-lock. Jonelle stated, “In the scene with him I kept thinking: ‘Shaft is about to kiss ME!!!’ Thank You.”
On Generations, Roundtree’s character of Daniel Reubens was a brilliant doctor, who was accused of killing someone by causing an explosion at a lab in 1974. He and his daughter, Maya, then went “underground” for the next 15 years. Maya was played by Viveca A. Fox.

I do read and appreciate what you share with me, that you entrust me with your thoughts and feelings. You are ever on my mind and in my heart, and I look forward to getting active and out there again as soon as possible. Until then, remember to play nice, be kind, and stay engaged! Our futures depend on it.”

NewsApril 12, 2024Y&R’s Hayley Erin Previews Her Role in Horror-Thriller ‘New Life’
lmao Terri had on three different rings that whole weekend. Please that whole engagement thing was a copy out. Terri knows Austin does not love her. Why you think there was no wedding date every thing so sective because Austin would have changed his mind. I don’t see Austin talking in that video. He doesn’t love Terri, Terri is selfish, who preyed on a man when he wasn’t thinking clearly. Because yeah Austin wanted to marry somebody just not Terri. Wires got cross. Hell Terri knows all about it. So you tell me if u kn that a person is in love with somebody else. How can you marry them. When the person he loved suggested the whole marriage idea in the first place. For months. and who is still in his life. What is so great about a women like Terri.
What are you talking about?!! You’re talking about Austin Peck like you know him personally!!!! I was a huge fan of ATWT and you can clearly see there was chemistry between the Austin and Terri. I have met both of them several times and both very nice people. Whay are you coming down on Terri so much. Obviously he loves her. She is so down to earth and a very nice person. You ask “what is so great about a woman like Terri?”What’s so great about anyone?!!! He obviously loves her. Shes pretty and really sweet. I don’t understand what the problem is with you and them gettting married. Makes no sense.
I like totally agree on this. I don’t get mad fast but you’re just being rude to these nice people. Leave them alone. Why the hell would they er married if they didnt love each other.
Where are you talking about? Why would she do that, I mean come on get real. Terri wouldn’t do that to her daughter, and definitely not to her loved ones.
congrats to brad and katie from atwt
My guess for the quickie wedding….SHE’S PREGNANT!!! Haven’t you noticed that “Aubrey” is wearing alot of black and lose clothing.
Yeah she does look chunky..Unless that’s his type, meaty & greedy.
Oh yes she would! She is a unfit mom. She married a man that does not love her. just by doing that she has proven that she is selfish as u can get. Austin will never love Terri. Terri knows that Austin is in love with someone else. Who was making plans to go be with him, why you think her mouth is always open.
Ok, what am I missing I thought they met on the set and left their spouses for each other?
Yeah. Why would he do that? Why would he left his spouse, isn’t that a little weird? I’m totally missing sense here.
HI! Michael: What projects/roles are VH, JS, and ESS involved in at the present?
