His brother Mwako at least got to be in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. kgraph 08-19-2025, 01:00 AM That's still an extremely long time ago to hear anything from someone who just up and disappeared from Hollywood. His brother Mwako at least got to be in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. Here is my information, sketchy as it is: Heshimu Cumbuka was the given Swahili name of Arlington Dudley Banks. Sources: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0191782/bio/ and https://www.davidcassidy.com/fansite/InPrintPages/Mag1973Jan_16_06.pdf Several people-search websites give his last known address as an apartment in Hawthorne, California (LA area), but that listing for him has not been updated since 1985. Some landline phone numbers under his name, in the same general location, are as recent as 2010-2016, but these search sites' phone listings are very prone to mix people up or be out-of-date. A Facebook commenter in 2011 said he had died, but did not give a date or details, and that account's public profile has not been updated since 2013. https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=149323045131405&set=a.149322998464743&comment_id=268469303216778 I would love to know what happened to him. As I have said elsewhere, I hope he is well, or at least that he had a good life. kgraph 08-19-2025, 12:22 PM Also: Mwako Cumbuka (or an imposter) is on Facebook: Last post: 2016 https://www.facebook.com/joe.crawford.90663 Last post: 2020 https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100014938633182 He has many friends with the Banks name, but no mention of Arlington/Heshimu. |
