Ernie F. Orsatti, a veteran stuntman and stunt coordinator who got his start by taking a stupendous fall through a glass skylight in the 1972 disaster movie The Poseidon Adventure, has died.
He was 80. Nicknamed "The Legend," Orsatti died Sept. 12 in La Quinta, California, after suffering a hemorrhagic stroke, his son, Noon Orsatti, a stuntman and stunt coordinator just like his father, told The Hollywood Reporter.
Their family has a rich history in Hollywood. A son of a player with baseball's famed "Gashouse Gang" — the St. Louis Cardinals of the 1930s — Ernie Orsatti portrayed Terry, the boyfriend of Pamela Sue Martin's character, in The Poseidon Adventure, produced by "Master of Disaster" Irwin Allen and directed by Ronald Neame.
