Donald May, 'Falcon Crest' and 'Edge of Night' star, dead at 92

Donald May, 'Falcon Crest' and 'Edge of Night' star, dead at 92

Fox News
Tuesday, February 01, 2022 03:51:36 PM UTC

Donald May's death was announced by his family on a Facebook page devoted to "The Edge of Night."

From 1967 to 1977, May played the good-guy attorney Adam Drake, first making his mark on the soap in a notable 1968 episode during which May delivered the episode’s only dialogue: a 22-minute trial summation in which he argued for the innocence of his client, a singer accused of murder. The jury found the client guilty and sentence her to be hanged, but Drake went into detective mode to find the real killer, saving the singer at the last minute.

May joined "The Edge of Night" following a steady TV career that began in 1956 with a starring role in the short-lived drama series "West Point." Guest appearances in episodic TV followed, including roles on "Hawaiian Eye," "77 Sunset Strip," "Sugarfoot," "Colt .45," "Surfside 6," "Combat," "The FBI" and others.
