Born in New York in 1936, Tata had early acting roles on General Hospital, The Outer Limits and Mister Roberts.
Actor Joe E. Tata, best known for his role as Nat on Beverly Hills 90210, died at age 85 after a four-year battle with Alzheimer’s disease on Thursday.
His death was announced by his former co-star Ian Ziering following the recent deaths of two other members of the 90210 family.
“Over the past few months we have lost Jessica Klein one of 90210’s most prolific writers and producers, Denise Douse who played Mrs. Teasley, and now I am so saddened that Joe E Tata has passed away,” he captioned a photo of his late friend.
According to what has become known in 2018, Tata’s daughter, Kelly, had started a Go Fund Me account in order to help him financially after the diagnosis of the disease.
Born in New York in 1936, Tata had early acting roles on General Hospital, The Outer Limits and Mister Roberts.
His television career flourished in the 1970s and 1980s – appearing in a number of crime dramas including Mannix, Adam-12, The FBI and The Streets of San Francisco – but he really rose to prominence with his role in the iconic series Beverly Hills 90210, as the beloved owner of the Peach Pit where he remained for 10 seasons.
