October 2024 has already been a tough month. As soon as the month, loved by Halloween fans, started, there was a lot of sad news. Broadway fans learned that two stars, Ken Page and Gavin Creel, had passed away, and just hours later, more heartbreak came with reports of John Amos’ death.
The month of October started off with a lot of sad news, leaving fans in shock. Just days after Dame Maggie Smith passed away, news of three heartbreaking deaths followed. John Amos’ death was especially upsetting for many fans, as he had long been seen as America’s “TV dad” from Good Times.
John Amos was 84 when he passed away on October 1st. He was still active in his acting career, with his last role in the 2023 film The Last Rifleman. No one knew he had any health problems, so his death came as a big shock, leaving people wondering what caused the loss of this legendary actor.
How did John Amos die?
Even if you’re not a fan of Good Times, the 1970s show that made Amos famous, or if you haven’t seen Roots, where he played Toby/Kunta Kinte, don’t worry — you’ve probably seen him in something else. If you’re like me, you might remember him from Die Hard 2: Die Harder, which is the second movie in the Die Hard series. But more likely, you recognize him from one of his classic TV shows.
He often appeared on The Mary Tyler Moore Show and also made guest appearances on popular shows like The New Dick Van Dyke Show and The Bill Cosby Show. His first big movie role was in 1973’s The World’s Greatest Athlete. After that, he appeared in many beloved films and shows, including Coming to America, Dr. Doolittle, Die Hard, and Madea.
Even though he often played supporting roles, Amos received many nominations and awards, including an Emmy nomination for Roots. In 2020, he was inducted into the New Jersey Hall of Fame. His legacy will live on, which is comforting for fans who are heartbroken over his unexpected death.
While his death was surprising, it doesn’t seem like it was caused by an accident or injury. He wasn’t dealing with any hidden illness, like some stars do — he passed away from natural causes.
Amos’ son, Kelly Christopher Amos, confirmed in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter that his father passed away on August 21, 2024, though the news wasn’t shared until more than a month later. He described his father as “a man with the kindest heart and a heart of gold” and said he was loved by people all over the world. “Many fans saw him as their TV father,” he added. “He lived a good life, and his legacy will continue through his amazing work in TV and film.”

In his recent tell-all book, former high-ranking Scientology member Mike Rinder reveals sh.ocking details about the church’s efforts to cover up John Travolta’s alleged homosexuality. Rinder claims he witnessed Travolta kissing a male masseuse and engaging in intimate activities with him. The Church of Scientology reportedly launched аggrеssivе PR campaigns and legal actions to suppress these rumors, fearing they would damage Travolta’s image as a heterosexual family man and reflect poorly on the church.
Despite decades of rumors and accusations, Travolta, married to actress Kelly Preston, has maintained a public persona of heterosexuality. Former Scientology executives suggest Preston may have been aware of the rumors but chose to ignore them, influenced by the church’s teachings to dismiss negative media claims. Travolta’s allegiance to Scientology, supported by Preston’s devout beliefs and the church’s backing, may have contributed to his prolonged secrecy.
These revelations highlight Scientology’s control over its members, including prominent figures likе Travolta, and their efforts to manipulate public perception to protect their interests. Travolta’s alleged double life and the church’s concealment efforts underscore the complex dynamics within Scientology and their lengths to maintain a facade of perfection.
