What happened to Gary Morton after Lucy died? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I can't recall what happened to Gary after Lucy died. I know I heard some things abt him abt a year after Lucy died, but that faded from my memory. Can the Lucy geniuses here enlighten those of us who are curious?

Gary sold the house in Beverly Hills, moved to Palm Springs where he married his young girlfriend, Palm Springs golf pro Susie McCallister, and presumably played golf until he died of lung cancer in 1999.

It looks like Gary had a single professional credit after Lucy died, appearing in the 1990 film, "Postcards from the Edge":

Thank you so much for that information. Do you happen to know what year he married his young girlfriend?

I remember him talking about her on Joan Rivers' talk show back around '91 or '92, but according to imdb.com, they didn't get married until 1996.

Gary Morton was also quite a bit younger than Lucy, if I'm not mistaken. After he sold the Beverly Hills mansion, did anyone famous move in? What is the status of the house today?

I've seen various dates reported for his year of birth: 1922, 1924 and 1926. So he was somewhere between 11 and 15 years younger than Lucy. I don't remember who bought the Beverly Hills home, but it wasn't anyone famous. They gutted the place and completely redid it, inside and out. So it doesn't even look like the same house anymore.
