Dean Carroll Jones (January 25, 1931– September 1, 2015) was an American actor best known for his light-hearted leading roles in several Walt Disneyfilms between 1965 and 1977, such as The Love Bug (1968). Jones also originated the role of Bobby in Stephen Sondheim's Company.
Early years
Jones was born in Decatur, near the larger neighboring city of Huntsville, Alabama, to Andrew Guy Jones (1901-1979), a traveling construction worker, and the former Nolia Elizabeth White (1902-1977). His parents are interred at Roselawn Gardens Of Memory in Decatur.
Jones attended Asbury University in Wilmore near Lexington, Kentucky. A member of its Class of 1953, he did not graduate, but the university in 2002 awarded him an honorary degree. On March 4, 2011, he later addressed the ceremony for the dedication of Asbury's Andrew S. Miller Center for Communications Arts.
Dean Mervyn JonesAM (born 24 March 1961) is an Australian retired cricketer, and a current coach. He has also worked as a sports commentator.
Career
Jones began his first class career in the 1981–82 season with Victoria in the Sheffield Shield. He was selected on the 1984 tour of the West Indies after Graham Yallop had to pull out due to injury . He was not picked in the original XI, but was drafted into the side after Steve Smith fell ill. Jones himself was very ill before the Test, and deemed his score of 48 on his debut as his "best knock".
Between 1984 and 1992, Jones played 52 Test matches for Australia, scoring 3,631 runs, including 11 centuries, at an average of 46.55.
His most notable innings was in only his third Test against India in the Tied Test in Chennai (Madras) in 1986. Suffering from dehydration in the oppressively hot and humid conditions, Jones was frequently vomiting on the pitch. He wanted to go off the field "retired ill" which led his captain Allan Border to say that if he could not handle the conditions, "then let's get a real Australian" (Greg Ritchie, a Queenslander like Border, was the next man in to bat). This comment spurred Jones to score 210, an innings he considered a defining moment in his career and one of the epic Test innings in Australian cricket folklore.
Innovator. Entertainer. Professor. Icon.
Rest in peace, Dean Jones.
