As a lifelong fan of the silver screen, I can say with great sadness that the passing of Randal Malone leaves a void that will never be filled. From his humble beginnings in Owensboro, Kentucky, to his illustrious career in Hollywood, Malone was a shining example of what it means to live life on your own terms and chase your dreams relentlessly.
Randal Malone, known for his appearances in numerous budget films and as a “leading man” on the ’90s MTV dating series Singled Out, has sadly passed away at the age of 66.
Malone passed away on Sunday at Valley Presbyterian Hospital in Van Nuys following a prolonged struggle against kidney disease, as his family confirmed.
Ever since 2004, I’ve been leading the Southern California Motion Picture Council, a charity that’s been around since 1936 and is one of the oldest organizations of its kind still running in this region.
Back in ’96, while I was out there promoting Sunset After Dark, the game where I shared screen time with Margaret O’Brien, a former child star, and Anita Page, an old-time silent film actress, I caught the eye of producer Keven Undergaro.
Subsequently, he was employed for the show “Singled Out,” which featured hosts like Chris Hardwick, Jenny McCarthy, and Carmen Electra. During its three seasons, he assumed different roles, one of them being “Film Star Randal Malone.” In this performance, he adopted a male interpretation of Norma Desmond from “Sunset Boulevard,” sporting gloves and a cigarette holder.
Following the show’s cancellation in 1998, he hosted segments for the Game Show Network.
Born on May 29, 1958, in Owensboro, Kentucky, Malone developed an interest in show business at a young age. This fascination was sparked by his father, a micro-midget car racer, who often brought him into contact with entertainers like Marty Robbins and Patsy Cline, who would visit the race track.
As a 13-year-old, he appeared unaccredited in the 1972 movie “The Marshall of Windy Hollow,” which featured seasoned cowboy actors Ken Maynard and Tex Ritter. Unfortunately, this film remained unreleased.
As a theater graduate from Murray State University, I stepped onto the Los Angeles stage for the first time in a production of “Annie Get Your Gun” at Glendale. The Southern California Motion Picture Council recognized me as the “Most Promising Actor in Hollywood,” an honor bestowed upon me by none other than Bob Hope himself. What a dream come true!
Known for his larger-than-life persona, Malone starred in over 50 films – many of them horror movies, some released directly to video – such as “The Triggerman” (1997), “Vampire Femmes” (1999), “Hollywood Mortuary” (2000), “The Crawling Brain” (2002), “Creepies 2” (2006), “Psychon Invaders” (2006), “Dahmer vs. Gacy” (2010), “Frankenstein Rising” (2010) and “Rat Scratch Fever” (2011).
Throughout his life, he cultivated intimate relationships with numerous Hollywood’s Golden Age stars such as O’Brien, Page, Rose Marie, and Jerry Maren. He enjoyed backgammon games with Lucille Ball, was an attendant at Ann Miller’s funeral, and delivered the main speech at Ginger Rogers’ funeral service.
Apart from his professional work, he was deeply involved in charitable activities too. For instance, he often helped out at the Motion Picture and Television Country House and Hospital situated in Woodland Hills.
The individuals who lived on are his mom, Shirley; brothers Donald and James; sister Allison; and his long-time companion, Michael Schwibs. Arrangements for a remembrance event are being made.
