biography
Duane Jones spent much of his career actively promoting and participating in African-American theater companies as an actor and a director. The former English professor also directed the Maguire Theater at the Old-Westbury campus of New York State University and served as artistic director at the Richard Allen Center in NYC. As an actor, many will best remember Jones as the ill-fated hero in George Romero's Night of the Living Dead (1968) and as an anthropologist-turned-vampire in Ganja and Hess (1973). Jones made his final film appearance in the 1989 horror feature To Die For.
