Jeff Fenholt died on Tuesday at 68 years of age, for reasons that have not yet transpired, although everything indicates that he was fighting against several health problems for some time, according to TMZ.
Fenholt, whose body was found lifeless at home, rose to fame for his portrayal of Jesus Christ in the musical Jesus Christ Superstar, premiered on Broadway in 1971. He was, in fact, the first actor who embodied the role of the son of God in said opera rock.
The artist's death happened casually only two days after Camilo Sesto, who also starred in Jesus Christ Superstar in 1973.
After the incredible success on Broadway, where he came to perform about 700 functions with the work, directed by Andrew Lloyd Webber, and for which he became the cover of Time magazine, Fenholt fell into a spiral of drugs and alcohol that, after Overcoming it led him to become an evangelist.
During his years of success, he met Gala, the muse and beloved of Salvador Dalí, with whom he maintained a relationship behind the painter's back. She was about 80 years old and Fenholt, 20.
