I first saw Mark Frankel in Fortune Hunter, then was ready to see him once again in Kindred: The Embraced. Upon hearing of his death in 1996, I created a tribute web site for him, featuring images and news bits. Then one day, in the user feedback, I noticed someone thanking me for keeping his father's work active on the web. It was signed by Fabien Frankel. I have been waiting many years to see Fabien Frankel on the screen. And I smiled when that moment came.

[@avislawrence866]

Thank you for the video. I can't imagine how Mark's mother feels having lost 2 of her adults children. My heart goes out to her. My daughter died 2 years ago 3 weeks after her father my husband. Both suffered from incurable illnesses. I am still grieving and will never get over it. It is my daughter's children who keep me going. I hope Mark's mother can get comfort from his children too. Life is so unfair.

Ooh I've just googled Mark and with that i saw his son Fabien starred in House of the Dragon, a prequel to Game of Thrones, so it looks like he's followed in his fathers footsteps, and in looks too xx

So sad for the family. Good to watch and learn about Mark. Dont think many of us have heard of him but we do now and have learnt abit about his life. Great to watch as always.

[@kruss6828]

Such a strange coincidence. It looks like you posted this today and I just finished watching Kindred - The Embraced today too. Such as shame for him to die so young. So handsome and talented.

[@gilltagg3352]

Had to watch this a few times as even though his face looks familiar nothing registered with me. However so sad his life was cut short and even more tragic about his brother. I always remember my cousin funeral and my Uncle saying we should never bury our children. I was only a young teenager then and never understood that until becoming a mother. Heartbreaking for any parent to go through but twice for Marks Mum you can’t comprehend. Interesting life story, thanks Paul.

[@lena-mariaglouis-charles7036]

I can't even begin to imagine the pain and sorrow that David and Grace Frankel endured, losing their two children - both in the prime of their lives, which were so tragically cut short... Although I never watched any of his work, I remember seeing Mark Frankel as I was walking down the street in NYC - it's a face difficult to forget... Did You know that after his father David passed away, Mark Frankel's mother Grace reconnected with her soul mate Hanns Salzer Levy? They ended up getting married when she was 77 - he was 86. A true silver lining, and proof that none of us are 'too old' to grab a bit of happiness if/when we get the chance...

[@serenityinside1]

👍 thanks for that - heartwarming amidst tragedy ❤️

[@serenityinside1]

Further research reveals; the redound loves had 10 happy years together before he passed away - I’ve no idea what her status h in s. Joes plane crash ; a mid air collision when he was hit by a trainee novice pilot that had 2 passengers on board to bring total dead to 4 😯. Awful.

[@charlottespurway912]

Rest in peace mark frankel and his family too!! 😇🙏👼

[@vetty1405]

So very sad, so young and handsome, such a shame that a mother lost her two sons in such tragic circumstances. A wife lost her husband and the children their father, one who was born after he died. Although I've never heard of Mark Frankel, I would like to send condolences to his family. May he RIP. Thank you Paul.

[@aliciacollins9886]

A young life taken too soon it sounds like he was on his way to great career in acting, thank you for sharing . I hadn't heard of him so thank you for keeping his memory alive. Lovely cemetary nice to see they cut the grass as so many are overgrown, shame the church was closed.

[@lunevalleyparanormal]

What a tragic story for the whole family I have to confess I didn’t know him but that hasn’t taken away what a lovely tribute yet again so thank you Paul 🙏🏻

[@christinecowley3120]

I remember seeing him amazing talent, but never knew him by his name….how sad that he died so young R.I.P. Always sad to see family plots.

How absolutely tragic for the parents - both sons! Thank you for this Paul. I wasn't aware of him, but thank you for telling his story. 🤗

I've never heard of him personally but he would have made a great James Bond by the looks of him. As always a very good video, and as always very respectful.

I have never heard of Mark Frankel before but what a sad loss to acting industry well done Paul for a brilliant video

[@barryjacobs8524]

Thankyou Paul now I know who he was. A very sad story. He was such a handsome young man. When you walk away and you can see their headstones in the distance, it seems so lonely and I feel like they are watching,you and saying, oh just stay for a few minutes more. It’s nice to know that we are still remembered. Great video once again Paul. ❤

[@Sara_Kane]

I hadn't heard of Mark before, but hearing his story was nonetheless heartbreaking. Losing one son is awful enough, but two...that's beyong comprehension really. As usual, you handled this tribute with grace and sensitivity, and were able to bring some light to a terribly tragic story. An engaging watch as ever Paul, and thank you for doing what you do.

[@vforvictor7575]

Thanks for yet another great video , he probably would have made a great Bond

[@helenmaynard5806]

Sorry I missed the live video but another amazing video and it's sad that another young person life cut short rip Mark ❤❤❤ the cemetery looks so peaceful x

[@keith4usa1]

Same here ive never heard of him either...Sorry Paul

[@trevorbrown6654]

I remember reading about Leon the Pig Farmer in Empire Magazine when it first came out. All of the cast and crew were on deferred salaries but as the film didn't take much money, nobody really got paid. It was a super low budget independent British comedy and as nobody would financially back it, the producers had to find more creative ways to get it made. I was interested by the article and had to go to London to see it (I believe it was at the MGM Swiss Centre - now long demolished) as it didn't seem to be showing outside of London. Incidentally it's the last film Carry On legend Bernard Bresslaw was in (he died the same year the film was released). I was aware Mark died quite young and it does make you wonder what career he'd have had if he had lived, as he wasn't quite a household name at the time. I certainly wasn't aware that his brother had died a few years before flying a biplane - that fact gives this video an extra depth of sadness. But thankyou Paul for helping keep these names from being forgotten.

[@highbury1972]

Hey Paul, good work again. Total tragedy with Joe Mark passing away way too young. His wife Caroline also being pregnant with Max at the time of his death makes this very sad too. RIP Mark ✝️✡️

Ive been a huge fan of Mark since 1994 and have visited his grave in 2004. This video reminded me of my visit. Thanks for the video.

Yeah, I remember Mark he was an amazing actor still miss him.

[@helencheadle5285]

What a truly handsome young man, and so very talented in his craft! He seems to have done so much in such a short time, and then to marry ,start a family and be taken just before the birth of his second son is so ,so cruel…my heart goes out to ALL his family in such a huge loss, and of course his poor mother losing a second son also. We don’t expect our children to pass before us, I’ve lost a son of my own, just after the birth of his own son, and life is truly at its worst right then…my anger with God was the pain I felt at that time, as I would stand in the empty church and rage at him. But it doesn’t alter anything. Life still ticks along. I hope his little sons favour their father, so his wife and mother still can see him in them. God bless you and your families Mark 🙏🦋💐

[@UnusualThings1]

So sorry for your loss… 🙏

Google Fabien Frankel and Max Frankel and you shall surely see the resemblance to their father! Fabien is also a very talented actor in his own right, and I pray his life’s journey is a very long one. His acting career is young, and off to a great start!! 🎉

So sad he was taken so young. Thank you for another great video.

I know Mark from Kindred, and then I looked up other films he had starred in. I always admired his heterochromia iridum. He did have such a wonderful presence when he performed. He was an ever-present light in a dark world.

[@basingstoke63]

Hi, Paul . I shall be honest and say that I have never heard of this Gentleman , but I hope eternity treats him and his brothers a little more kindly . I live not far from ,Weybridge , and know it well from learning to drive around the town , passing my test there 33 years ago . If you are in the area again , visit the Brooklands museum . If you like old cars and aircraft , it's a great day out . RIP, Mark .

What a nice epitaph, and all three graves together make a poignant group. How terrible for the family to have lost two sons in accidents like that. Hopefully the mother, Grace, is doing well, wherever she is.

[@Amberleaf01]

Lovely video again Paul. Like many others I had never heard of this young man but still a very interesting story and biography.

[@rivaest38]

Morning Paul. Like many others who have commented, I had not heard on Mark Frankel either which is a shame as he acted with some very eminent actors. Perhaps he would have become better known had he not been so tragically killed. It is also sad that three families lost husbands, fathers, brothers, children and a grandfather so close together in time. Unfortunately, churches dare not leave their buildings open 24 / 7 today for fear of vandalism. It is a real shame and it doesn’t matter how affluent the area is, it is not immune to the unwanted attention of a few mindless idiots who seem to get a kick out of vandalising churches and cemeteries. We think of ourselves as a cultured society with high-end values but sadly there is still a strand of feral louts house have no respect for people, objects or buildings and are just driven to destroy. 😢

[@Finglesham]

That is a very impressive cemetery. That looks like a chapel rather than a church surely? Anyway the cemetery is beautifully kept Did not know of this guy but I hate tragic accidents , being a motorcyclist myself. Then his brother died in a Tiger Moth! Those aircraft were very, very old in 1990. I recall them in the late 1960s being used as tugs for gliders but they were slow and buggered, Still, incredibly sad Great video.

[@itsmonday7450]

I was watching my old tapes of the Kindred tv show today and, knowing about his early death, decided to check out some videos here. Thanks for the content.

Thank you for remembering Mark. He was a good actor and incredibly hansome.

[@Songbird1226]

Paul, thank you so very much for this video! It is greatly appreciated! And I would just like to add, I KNEW WHO MARK FRANKEL WAS! 😊 I became an immediate fan when I watched him as Gregory Orlov in TNT’s “Young Catherine”. I’m American, so it wasn’t until much later that I was able to see A Season of Giants, Leon the Pig Farmer, Solitaire for 2, and “For Roseanna” (aka “Roseanne’s Grave”). I watched him in The tv series of The Fortune Hunter (very tongue in cheek James Bondish; Mark was funny and adorable!) and Sisters. But his last TV series was the best yet! “Kindred: The Embraced” as Julian Luna. This was a vampire series way ahead of its and the genre’s time! I would also like to mention that neither Mark nor Joe died from reckless behavior, despite their adventurous pursuits. Joe was admired and beloved by Mark and his death made a huge impact on Mark’s life. He realized then that life was short and for the taking and also the importance of family. He married and became a father before his time was up. I cannot imagine how difficult it has been to go on without him in their lives. Mark’s mother and his widow are still very close and are well, and his sons are thriving in their lives and careers. To learn more about Mark Frankel, feel free to visit my site: Markfrankelfansite.com Thank you, Katie S. P.S. I traveled from the US to London in 2002 and took the train to Weybridge to visit Mark’s grave and pay my respects. His and Joe’s gravesites had hardly any other graves around them at that time. Seeing you walk up the street to the cemetery and then at the graves brought a flood of memories back to me. On behalf of all the worldwide fans of Mark Frankel who may not ever have the opportunity to visit his grave, I say THANK YOU, PAUL, from the bottom of my heart for your time and efforts to make your video and share it on your KZbin channel.

[@UnusualThings1]
