He specialised in playing villains: The sinister hypnotist Svengali, Conan Doyle's Prof. Moriarty, and Bill Sikes in "Oliver Twist" were some of his roles. His last stage appearance was as Abu Hassan in "Chu Chin Chow" in the West End in 1941 when he was 74 years old, and when he was nearly 80 he played Owain Glyndwr in Shakespeare's Henry VII for the BBC 3rd Programme. He died in 1952 after a long illness. There is a memorial to him in the Chapel House Inn (a public house) in his home town of St Brides Wentlooge (the inn was owned by his uncle), the plaque having been moved from its original place in his old school when the school closed.

Born Lyn April Parnes to Max and Evelyn Parnes on April 8, 1925, in New York City, New York, Statten eventually made her way into bit parts on and off Broadway, even touring with the Pajama Tops ensemble before landing in Los Angeles, where her only noteworthy film to date was Crown International's "The 7th Commandment" released in December, 1961; a feature only distributed to drive-in vendors. Statten's portrayal of the femme-fatal Terry James, who takes the fall for an auto accident when her boyfriend, suffering amnesia, deserts the scene, is one of the most lost pieces of cinematic history ever to grace the screen.Statten proved only to be a one-hit-wonder, but her icy and bad-girl image continues to live on in the palms of avid cult film devotees. She even made several attempts at selling her own screenplay writings; one being "The Composite," which she desperately wished to grab the attention of Alfred Hitchcock. In the 1980's, after decades of being out of the Hollywood circuit, Statten relocated to Half Moon Bay's Burlingame, California, where she became an honored member of the Toastmasters organization. After two bouts of uterine cancer, one in the mid-60's, and another in the late 90's, the third-go-around finally took its toll and Statten succumbed to the disease on October 25, 2007. She is survived by her brother, Harold and several nieces and nephews.
