James 'Jim' Mitchum, born into cinematic royalty on May 8, 1941, carved his own distinguished path in the entertainment world while honouring his father's monumental legacy. The news of his passing was confirmed by his heartbroken family, who revealed he died surrounded by loved ones.
Following in Famous Footsteps
