Larry Sherman, a ubiquitous presence in New York-based films and TV shows like North by Northwest, Midnight Cowboy and Law & Order and the very first publicist Donald Trump ever hired, has died. He was 94.
Sherman died Saturday of natural causes in New York, his son, entertainment publicist Charles Sherman, told The Hollywood Reporter.
In North by Northwest (1959), Sherman drives the cab that rushes Cary Grant away from the United Nations, and in Midnight Cowboy (1969), he was the homeless person who screams outside Tiffany's and then drops dead in front of Jon Voight's character, Joe Buck.
