After a short stint of doing movies (his last being "Bloodsucking Freaks"), O'Brien was stabbed to death when trying to hold a burglar at his apartment on May 14th, 1977. He was 44 years old.

Víctor Tasca was born on 11 May 1922 in Verona, Italy. He was an actor and writer, known for He nacido en la ribera (1972), Delito (1962) and El mago de las finanzas (1962). He died on 14 May 1977 in Buenos Aires, Argentina.- Robert Maynard Hutchins was one of the most noted educators of the twentieth century. The son of a New England clergyman and university president, Hutchins became the Yale Law School's youngest dean ever at age 28. At 31 he was named president of the University of Chicago, where his ideas about education were both lauded and condemned, but never ignored. While still at the University he became chairman of the board of editors of the Encyclopaedia Brittanica and also editor of the Great Books series, his brainchild. After leaving U of C he became an associate director of the Ford Foundation, and later the president of an offshoot of the Foundation, the Fund for the Republic. Hutchins' beliefs concerning civil liberties and the rights of man drew attacks from Sen. Joseph McCarthy and Congressional investigating committees, but the Fund was one of the few institutions to squarely confront McCarthyism on moral ground during the 1950s. In 1959 he founded the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions, the mission of which was "to identify and clarify the basic issues of our time and widen the circles of discussion about them."
