British-born actor Michael Evans, who wooed Audrey Hepburn on Broadway in “Gigi” and was the best friend to a billionaire on the soap opera “The Young and the Restless,” has died. He was 87.
Evans died Sept. 4 from age-related complications, said his son Nick Evans.
From 1980 to 1995, Evans played Col. Douglas Austin, the friend of billionaire Victor Newman, on CBS’s long-running “The Young and the Restless.” Newman is played by Eric Braeden, who hailed Evans as “a total professional from the old English school, a gentleman through and through.”
Evans made his London stage debut in 1948. In 1950, he came to Broadway for the short-lived play “Ring Round the Moon.”
He went on co-star in the 1951 production of “Gigi” as the handsome Parisian who falls in love with young Gigi, played by Audrey Hepburn. The play, which made Hepburn a star, was based on the same novel by the French author Colette that was later turned into a Hollywood musical starring Leslie Caron.
In the late 1950s he played Henry Higgins in a touring production of “My Fair Lady,” performing in the United States and abroad, including in Russia at the height of the Cold War.
Evans also appeared on numerous TV shows, including “Dr. Kildare,” “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.,” “Hunter” and “I Spy,” as well as in such films as “Bye Bye Birdie” and “Time After Time.”
John Michael Evans was born in 1920 in Sittingbourne, England; his father had been a flier in World War I and his mother a concert violinist. The younger Evans served in the Royal Air Force in World War II.

Authorities gave the video of “Crocodile Hunter” Steve Irwin’s fatal encounter with a stingray to his family and destroyed all copies to prevent the grisly footage from being made public, an Australian state coroner said Thursday.
Irwin, 44, died on Sept. 4 after being stabbed in the chest by the stingray’s poisonous barb while filming a documentary on the Great Barrier Reef off the Queensland coast.
Queensland State Coroner Michael Barnes said authorities gave the original video to his wife, Terri, in late December and destroyed other copies.
“The footage has been the subject of widespread media interest and it was wholly appropriate that we took all possible steps to ensure something of such a personal and tragic nature did not fall into the wrong hands,” Barnes said in a statement. “This is in line with the wishes of the Irwin family.”
Police made a small number of copies of the video to assist their inquiry into the cause of Irwin’s death, but they were kept under tight security throughout the investigation, the coroner’s office said.
Speculation had been rife that footage of Irwin’s death could eventually be posted on the Internet.
Calls to the Irwin family’s Australia Zoo were not immediately returned Thursday, but in an interview with U.S. television last September, Terri Irwin, originally of Eugene, Ore., said the video should never see the light of day.
“What purpose would that serve?” she told ABC’s Barbara Walters, adding that she herself had not seen the video.
Irwin’s friend and business partner, John Stainton, has seen the film. He told Walters he never wants to see it again and doesn’t want anyone else to see it, either. “It’s just a horrible piece of film tape,” he said.
The death of the exuberant television entertainer and conservationist set off an unprecedented outpouring of grief. Tens of thousands traveled to Irwin’s zoo near Brisbane to drop off flowers and other mementoes, many of them signing khaki shirts instead of a condolence book.
