LOS ANGELES, California: Actor Julian Sands, who starred in several Oscar-nominated films in the late 1980s and 1990s, including 'A Room with a View' and 'Leaving Las Vegas,' was found dead on a mountain in southern California five months after he disappeared while hiking, authorities said on Tuesday.
An investigation confirmed that it was Sands whose remains hikers found last Saturday in wilderness near Mount Baldy, the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department said. The 65-year-old actor was an avid and experienced hiker who lived in Los Angeles and was reported missing on January 13 after setting out on the peak that rises more than 10,000 feet east of the city.
The following year, he appeared in director David Cronenberg's surreal adaptation of the William Burroughs novel 'Naked Lunch' in 1991.In 1993, Sands starred in the thriller 'Boxing Helena,' a movie that drew major media attention during production when Madonna and Kim Basinger each accepted the title role before backing out. The part would go to 'Twin Peaks' actor Sherilyn Fenn. The film flopped.
