    Michael (aka Richard) Allen was my brother and an absolute actor from childhood. First major performance was Anna's son in the king and I....had several minor roles prior to that. He was incredible in every role and unfortunately died in his fifties. He was not only an incredible actor but an awesome singer and musician. His later years were spent in Taos, nm where he was a featured performer at the Taos inn. I am his sister and adored him. Thank you for reading this ....Sharon. His last days were spent with me and my husband in Nj prior to leaving for Taos, Nm and he was getting ready to return to NJ to live with us while preparing for a concert at Carnegie hall with Don Sickles, the great musician. Sadly, Richard was on oxygen and his lungs gave out....he never made it back to NJ. We all, my children, husband and myself miss him terribly! Sharon
